The growing number of startups is expected to contribute to the expansion of the equity crowdfunding services market in the coming years. Startups are newly formed companies focused on developing innovative solutions with significant growth potential in dynamic market environments. This rise in startup activity is being driven by increased access to digital tools, as cost-effective and user-friendly technologies now allow individuals to launch and operate businesses without needing large budgets or technical expertise. Equity crowdfunding services assist these startups in raising funds by enabling them to offer shares to a broad base of online investors, facilitating quicker market entry and growth through alternatives to traditional financing methods. For example, in November 2024, GOV.UK, the official website of the UK government, reported that the number of company incorporations in the United Kingdom reached 890,684 in the financial year 2024, reflecting an 11.2% increase compared to the previous year. As a result, the rising number of startups is fueling the growth of the equity crowdfunding services market.

Key players in the equity crowdfunding services market are working on developing innovative solutions such as secondary trading platforms to enhance liquidity and accessibility for investors. A secondary trading platform allows investors to buy and sell securities acquired through crowdfunding, converting traditionally illiquid investments into tradable assets and offering more flexibility to retail investors. For instance, in February 2024, Republic.com, a US-based equity crowdfunding firm, introduced the Republic Secondary Market. This platform allows investors to trade shares of startups initially funded through Republic.com’s primary crowdfunding portal, helping to bring liquidity to the otherwise illiquid private investment market. It operates similarly to the StartEngine Marketplace by enabling investors to place sell orders that buyers can match, initially focusing on trading simple agreements for future equity. This launch places Republic in direct competition with StartEngine and supports the broader goal of democratizing private equity access by giving both retail and accredited investors greater flexibility and control.

In May 2023, StartEngine, a US-based equity crowdfunding and financial technology service provider, acquired the assets of SeedInvest for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to reinforce StartEngine’s position in the U.S. equity crowdfunding market by significantly growing its investor network and offering more entrepreneurs alternative financing options. SeedInvest is a US-based platform specializing in equity crowdfunding.
