About StartEngine

This pays real cash via PayPal, not store credit, and there is a separate, much larger $5,000 bonus for referring a company that raises funds on the platform, rather than an individual investor.

StartEngine is an SEC-registered equity crowdfunding platform where everyday investors can back startups, and it runs an official investor referral program.

Invite up to 100 people by email, text, or your unique referral link. Once your friend opens and funds a new account with at least $250 and passes KYC/AML verification, you both receive $20 cash, paid via PayPal.

Separately, StartEngine pays a $5,000 cash bonus for referring a company (a "founder") that goes on to raise funds on the platform -- a different reward from the investor referral.
