Introduction to StartEngine

Are you a startup based in Santa Cruz,  Monterey County, or Central Coast making significant traction and looking for seed money to get your company into orbit? StartEngine can help you raise your next round! Please complete this form. We will share your information with StartEngine and if they are interested in working with you, we reach out to you within 3 business days and do an email introduction.

The ideal candidates have some of the following attributes:

Traction
~$1m+ in Annual recurring revenue
~ $100k+ in previous funding
 
Community
- A large email list or downloads 5k+ (great place to start notifying fans/followers/customers of the investment opportunity)
- Previous angels/friends and family that will help kick-off the campaign (due to regulations, we have to market each company equally. This means we don't advertise campaigns to our email list until they reach $45k as we had to set a milestone for when companies begin being blasted to our community)
 
Bonus
- Celebrity Founder
- Founder with successful exits
- Founder was an early employee at major tech company (first 25 employee at google, meta, Microsoft, etc)
 
Industries
- We are industry agnostic but some industries perform better than the rest: Clean tech, robotics, drones, fintech, wearable tech

 
Even if you do not meet all of the above, we encourage you to apply!
