1/7/24

I'm a public figure with a $9 million dollar domain, which we are launching a business around. The entity is formed, the business plan created and vetted by multiple VCs. My previous startup was acquired by a major tech company. I've decided to crowdfund for this one and was about to launch a campaign on WeFunder dot com. A friend suggested I check out StartEngine. I've never heard of them but reached out. I had a call with a woman named Doryn and that conversation was what motivated this review.
1. She was incredibly condescending.
2. She said Start Engine does not accept "pre-revenue" companies. That's a lie: they do.
3. Oddly, she told me to go with WeFunder! She told me her employer, StartEngine, is too expensive and only has interest in week established companies seeking late rounds of financing. It was so surprising and weird.
I cannot tell you how surprised I was and how put off I was by this arrogant woman who had the people skills of an alligator.
I'm headed over to WeFunder as she instructed, and I'll let you know how it goes!
