Marketplaces charge 2-7% fees, control your investor data, share your branding with competitors, and own the investor relationships. CrowdEngine is your own white-label platform with your branding, your domain, your data, and flat-fee pricing. You're building an asset you own, not renting space on someone else's platform.
CrowdEngine supports Regulation D (506(b) and 506(c)), Regulation A+ (Tier 1 and Tier 2), and Regulation S for international investors. Our compliance engine automatically handles investor accreditation verification, investment limits, disclosure requirements, and filing obligations for each regulation type.
Yes, CrowdEngine is 100% white-label and customizable. You can customize colors, fonts, logos, page layouts, investor workflows, and even add custom features through our API. Your investors will only see your brand—never CrowdEngine branding. You can use your own domain (e.g., invest.yourcompany.com).
Investors can invest via ACH bank transfer, wire transfer, and credit card. We integrate with leading payment processors including Stripe and Plaid for secure, compliant payment processing. All payments are processed directly to your account—we never hold investor funds.

However, we recommend working with a securities attorney for legal advice specific to your offering. We can introduce you to experienced securities attorneys in our network.
Your CrowdEngine platform supports unlimited offerings over time. Many clients use the same platform for multiple raises, building a database of investors who can participate in future offerings. This creates a valuable asset—your own investor network—that compounds in value with each raise. No additional setup fees for subsequent offerings.
