A CLIMATE CHANGE SOLUTION FOR THE PLANET Enabling fish to safely glide past barriers while producing more hydropower flow. Invest Now This Reg CF offering is made available through StartEngine Capital, LLC. This investment is speculative, illiquid, and involves a high degree of risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment. $277,599.65 RAISED OverviewAboutTermsPress & UpdatesRewardsDiscussionInvesting FAQs Add to Watchlist Log In REASONS TO INVEST * Capitalization: We have previously raised a total of $26.4 million through grants, founders, and private accredited investors. We also have over 1000 new investors from our first CF round, and recently secured a $1 million line of credit for project financing of our government contracts. * Emerging Growth Stage: We have established commercial sales in the U.S., Canada, and the EU and have grown by 157% in the last year. We have a business model that includes multi-year recurring revenue. * Economic Moat: Whooshh offers up to 80% cost reduction over traditional competing solutions. We have achieved regulatory acceptance in key markets with 20 independent studies over 7 years, and have 50 patents granted to date in developed markets (source). * Market: Our estimated Total Addressable Market is $1.25 Trillion; as there are over 1 million dams and barriers worldwide, most of which lack any fish passage, much less capable of sorting out invasive fish species. Hydropower remains the world’s largest renewable energy source. *The market calculations above are calculations from internal research - source We raised over $1.4M in our first Regulation CF offering, which closed earlier this year. With the passage of the 1+ trillion dollar Infrastructure package in the spring and the 1+trillion dollar Inflation Reduction Act this summer, federal money is now reaching renewable energy projects, including environmental improvement projects such as fish passage at dams. We now have an urgent need to expand our sales and marketing teams and grow our operations. Since we filed our last funding round, we have been busy executing on our strategic plans. We believe the funds we raise in this round will help us tackle a few key initiatives that will drive our success in 2023 and beyond. Objectives include: launching a state-supported initiative to deliver multiple Passage Portal systems in six key Washington state watersheds; delivering a complete Guardian system to tackle the invasive carp problem in the midwest; and hiring more top talent to accelerate our growth. OUR MISSIOn SAVE - FEED - GROW At Whooshh, our guiding principles are simple. SAVE the fish: We deploy novel products designed and developed to improve fish welfare, fish passage and spawning success. FEED the planet: Fish provide critical nutrients for the planet’s ecosystems and are the number one protein for the people on it. GROW clean energy: By enabling more efficient use of our water resources, we enable the growth of clean renewable energy. Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Traction OUR PROGRESS HAS CREATED A FORMIDABLE FOUNDATION FOR OUR FUTURE GROWTH THE PROBLEM HYDROPOWER IS NEEDED TO MEET WORLD WIDE PUBLIC POLICY CLEAN ENERGY GOALS AND COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE Supporting native fish populations is more critical now than ever. Native fish are an integral part of their habitats and ecosystems - playing an important role in nutrient cycles, and a crucial part of the food web (source). Many anadromous fish like salmon, eel, and shad migrate thousands of miles to reach their native rivers and freshwater spawning grounds each year (source, source). Now, faced with growing challenges such as climate change, inaccessible habitats, and invasive species, we've found that this crucial migration is becoming increasingly difficult. There is an urgent need for safe, effective fish passage without also enabling access for invasive fish species that can out-compete native fish species. Our Technology Solutions SAFE FISH PASSAGE, NO MATTER THE ENVIRONMENT “ The fish pass through without so much as a scratch. Also, you won’t have to divert water, as you do in a ladder system. Out here, the economy is all about agriculture, and water is gold. That’s what makes Whooshh such a great concept.” Mark Johnston – Yakama Nation Fisheries Biologist We believe that supporting renewable energy is an important part of the fight against climate change, and an essential component of caring for our planet earth (source). Hydropower is the largest producer of renewable energy in the world - so we developed a better way for hydropower and healthy native fish populations to coexist and grow (source). Our goal is to restore native fish species to their historical numbers to feed the planet and the people on it - while simultaneously enabling hydropower producers a more efficient use of the shared water resources. Our Passage Portal™ products permit fish to swim in on their own, and the automated FishL Recognition™ system selectively sorts the fish before they glide through our Migrator™ tubes, regardless of geography, height of obstacle, water temperatures or changing water levels, …. all in less than a minute. Your browser does not support HTML5 video. We have integrated scanning, sorting and invasive species removal features in order to enable selective fish passage. This way, we never stop collecting images and data and learning about the local habitat - and the fish who call it home. Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Here's how it works: Fish swim in on their own, have their picture taken using our FishL Recognition™ scanner to determine among other factors, species and size. It can perform selective fish passage, ensuring only native fish swim through a fishway upstream or downstream, and it can remove unwanted or invasive species. Your browser does not support HTML5 video. The maximum capacity of one Passage Portal™ is 40 fish per minute or 57,600 fish per day, more than many rivers see in an entire year. In short, we enable fish to easily transport themselves over barriers without stress or injury, all in a flexible, misted, temperature-controlled Migrator tube. Fish float over land or infrastructure barriers from point A to Point B in seconds, without requiring huge amounts of water and power as is often required for traditional systems. Your browser does not support HTML5 video. OUR BUsiness FROM 2021 TO 2022, OUR REVENUE GREW BY 157% We began generating significant revenue in 2020 after completing our R&D on our first generation Passage Portal™. That year we achieved a net profit for the first time. We recognized $5.6 million in revenue, with an EBIDTA of $2.82 million and a gross margin over 60%. With Covid 19 shutdowns, project delays, and travel restrictions in 2021, our product and service revenue was hit hard. 2022 business revenue is rebounding and revenue in the first half of 2022, as of August is already 157% more than the entirety of 2021 revenue. With the U.S. federal government's passage of the $1+Trillion dollar infrastructure bill (source), and more recently passed Inflation Reduction Act (which favors climate, energy, health care, and taxes and the lifting of Covid restrictions) we expect 2023 and the next 10 years will continue to see robust growth. Our customers already include: HOw We ARe transformative OUR TECHNOLOGY CHANGES THE PUBLIC NARRATIVE ABOUT DAMS AND FISH PASSAGE WHILE OFFERING A WIN-WIN SOLUTION Our systems are modular, flexible, and cost a fraction of the amount required to build and operate a custom civil engineered solution, for a better, safer, faster, migration for native fish without spilling water. Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Our systems assist native fish to pass over dams in seconds to reclaim access to their spawning grounds. This means fish expend far less energy, experience less stress, and are therefore reaching cleaner, safer, water and spawning habitat, with fewer pre-spawning mortalities. We also do not require concrete infrastructure or any extra, unnecessary use of water or impose a permanent environmental footprint. Our gentle handling of fish without producing waste water, reduces injuries, mortalities, and stress - overall improving survivability, fecundity, and ultimately our product value. *Whooshh Passage Portal system OUr Leadership THE TEAM BEHIND THE MISSION Our executive leadership team are seasoned entrepreneurs, dedicated, and driven to see the company achieve success.

We will NOT be extending this round. The countdown is on. I also want to take a moment to acknowledge the great work the Whooshh team did in Q1, and for setting us up for a great finish in 2023, regardless of the economy. In a previous update in Q1, we mentioned that we had submitted seven concept papers to the Department of Energy (DOE), and that we were encouraged by DOE to formally apply for grant money on five of them. By March 27, we submitted to our partners four compelling high-profile projects. The documentation prepared and submitted totaled well over 200 pages and the grant moneys requested, totaled the full U.S. $4M available. Its hard to fathom the amount of work that goes into just one federal grant application, much less four at the same time. It all begins with reaching out to the stakeholders to garner their support for the project, and to assure their commitment and the project’s success. With four projects, this means there was much coordination and document preparation required. The last three weeks, the Whooshh team was putting in very long hours, even through the nights on the weekends, to meet our goals. We celebrated on the 28th and re-lived the many challenges overcome along the way. For our investors, the good news will be that grant money awarded is non-dilutive, does not need to be paid back and should add significant value to the Company. Even better, these projects will go a long way toward establishing Whooshh as having best in class products for both fish passage and invasive species removal and should lead to more follow on sales. Two of the projects are in the Northwest, one in the Midwest, and another on the East Coast. We have the U.S. covered. We have three iconic species covered. We have three major rivers covered. When funded, each of these projects will be highly visible and influential to public policy makers and fish passage decision makers across the USA. It should be our tipping point! More about these projects in upcoming updates. Any awards we receive are expected to be announced in July 2023, and the contracts negotiated by October 2023. All four of these projects would begin immediately. We would also expect to build the equipment for installation within a year of the contract(s), and provided permits are approved timely, install each and commission them as well. Change is happening fast. Time is of the essence for the fish, the planet, and your opportunity to invest. Please help us make this a movement. You don’t want to be the last one left not dancing. Sincerely, Vince Vincent E Bryan III, CEO Whooshh Innovations Inc. 04.03.23 LESS THAN 2 WEEKS TO INVEST IN WHOOSHH INNOVATIONS Hello, Whooshh Innovations Community!

Warmly, Vincent Bryan CEO Whooshh 03.24.23 WHOOSHH INNOVATIONS WEBINAR RECAP Hello Whooshh Innovations Community, Whooshh Innovations has developed an innovative technology solution to a vexing worldwide problem . As climate change becomes increasingly pressing, producing more clean energy from hydropower while also restoring the ecosystem is more important than ever. Native fish are integral to the food chain, their habitats and ecosystems. Read on to discover how Whooshh Innovations inventions enable fish to safely glide past barriers while producing more hydropower flow and why an investment today can be a win win for everyone. The Hot Topic of Climate Change I'm Vincent Bryan, CEO and one of the founders of Whooshh Innovations, and I've been with the company from the start. Climate change headlines are frequently featured in the media, describing the very urgent need for our scalable solutions today. We believe hydropower, as the largest renewable, is an important component of the climate solution and plays a crucial role in reducing CO2 emissions and the realization of a carbon-free electrical grid by 2050. Whooshh technologies addresstwo of the largest industries in the world, food, and energy. In some states, such as Washington, hydropower is actually the largest energy producer by far. To understand the role Whooshh plays, you need to know about the typical way fish pass dams - a fish ladder. A fish ladder is a structure built in or around a dam or other man-made obstacle to help fish migrate upstream to their spawning grounds. Fish ladders are designed to provide a series of steps or pools that fish can swim up in order to circumvent the obstacle. This ladder is necessary for the fish to pass the dam, but as the surface water in the forebay warms up, the act of climbing each step of the ladder, stresses the fish, drains its energy, so many are unable to reach their spawning grounds. This is called pre-spawning mortality. The traditional fish ladder option for fish passage have resulted in the loss of vital natural resources, including water resources, as water is spilled to “help” the fish ascend the ladder. We are losing up to 10% of the water resource in any river flowing past a hydropower dam that deploys traditional ladder designs since that “lost” water does not produce power and is coming down the ladder to benefit the fish. As a result, most dams were built without fish ladders. The traditional custom and civil engineering fish ladder projects - projects that primarily use concrete, steel, and rebar - are too slow to build, and too costly. Efforts to improve fish passage in the US have been ongoing for many years, with federal, state, and local agencies working to identify and remove barriers to fish movement, as well as implement new fish passage solutions. However,nearly every site struggles with fish passage issues using traditional fish passage solutions.. Whooshhing Fish To Safety Whooshh! That's the exact noise you hear when we send fish safely over a dam through our novel smart fish passage systems. How does it work? We developed a novel Migrator tube, filled with air that is lubricated with mist. This modular system transports migrating salmon and other fish species from the river below the dam, up over the dam and into the lake above in a matter of seconds. When the salmon reach the entrance of our Passage Portal, they naturally swim into an attraction flow we use at the entrance to the system, and that is where their incredible journey begins. Once inside, the fish swim through a small 6 inch waterfall and simultaneously dewatered and autonomously scanned to determine size and species to ensure they are not invasive species. When the scanner sends the information to the sorting computer, the sorting computer switches a gate, and the computer determines if the fish is a native fish destined for the Whooshh Migrator tube or if it is an invasive fish destined for an alternative resting place - all in less than a second. The native fish are quickly and safely transported through our pneumatic Migrator tubes over the dam in less than a minute. “The fish pass through without so much as a scratch. Also, you won’t have to divert water, as you do in a ladder system. Out here, the economy is all about agriculture, and water is gold. That’s what makes Whooshh such a great concept.” - Mark Johnston, Yakama Nation Fisheries Biologist The return of salmon to the Pacific Northwest is particularly important to the N. American indigenous tribes. . Whooshh is interested in helping solve fish passage issues in N. American and the more than one million dams around the world as well. This will provide time to develop other clean energy solutions for the electric grid, while assuring that we do not extirpate all of the fish first. Hydro-powering A Safer World Depending on the dam's size, our Passage Portal costs a fraction of a traditional fish ladder system. 58,000 of the one million dams are taller than 50 feet, and only 3% of all dams currently provide fish passage. It is estimated that there are 85,000 dams in the United States. If we install 11 systems a day, it would still take us 20 years to build fish passages on just these dams. We must accelerate deployments and scale up now. We have a lot of work to do! Watch our recent recap here and join Whooshh Innovations on StartEngine as we enable more efficient use of water resources and promote the development of clean, renewable energy, while ensuring that our native fish species will recover to their historical numbers. Warmly, Vincent Bryan CEO Whooshh 03.23.23 LET THEM HEAR YOU! WE NEED YOUR HELP Dear Whooshh Fans and Investors, In previous updates we announced that we are supporting a $10MM Washington State budget proviso for the creation of an accelerator fund for innovative fish passage in the State of Washington. These funds would then be available for fish passage projects at dams beginning in the state’s new fiscal year, which starts July 1, 2023. The Senate and House now need to reconcile their budgets over the next few days/weeks, and to help assure that this budget proviso survives the reconciliation process, we are calling upon all of you, and especially our Washington state fans and investors, to let the legislative leadership in Olympia, WA know that this budget proviso is important to addressing the crises for fish species, in the state and on the entire West coast. For just one example, see this article. With this proviso, Washington state can show the way for other states as well. To make it as easy as possible, we have created a letter template which you can download, complete, and then send to the key members of the house and senate via email. [Email addresses are included at the top of the letter] The budget proviso itself is also available for review. You can view or download both here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5fsa6tt59l03mkn/AAC1dS8M08v-jIoa0rG33iuxa?dl=0 While you are welcome to personalize the letter beyond filling in the blanks, it is not necessary to do so. I am told by our advisors that quantity will make the biggest impact in these kinds of matters. The budget proviso has bi-partisan sponsorship, so this should not be viewed as a divisive issue, even if the reasons for supporting the budget proviso may differ. It is a real win-win for both the fish, water resource efficiency, and clean energy. What the proviso competes with is other state budget priorities, we just want to see the fund prioritized this budget session. Your letters will help. We believe the passage of this accelerator fund proviso can directly accelerate our growth and therefore your investment with us. Thank you for your help. It will make a difference beginning this year. Don’t wait! With much gratitude, Vince Vincent E Bryan III, CEO Whooshh innovations, Inc. 03.17.23 ONLY 1 MONTH LEFT TO INVEST!

Warmly, Vincent Bryan CEO Whooshh 03.14.23 SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE Hello Whooshh Innovations Community, For decades, fish ladders and other traditional means of assisting fish cross dams have been problematic,, expensive, and even harmful. Whooshh(R) Innovations has revolutionized fish passage with its novel Passage PortalTM, FishL RecognitionTM, and Salmon CannonTM technology inside. Our products have proven effective and safe in helping our fish friends migrate thousands of miles to reach their native rivers and freshwater spawning grounds. You don't have to take our word for it! We have the science to prove it! Here's a summary of just three of the more than twenty successful studies detailing how our technology is making a difference: Kalama Falls Hatchery Study Whooshh Innovations used the Kalama Falls Hatchery to investigate the feasibility of safely transporting hatchery steelhead fish through our 250-foot MigratorTM tube. The study was conducted with fish transported through a Whooshh Innovations MigratorTM tube and a control group carried by hand. This study observed that the steelhead were transported across 250 feet in an average of 13 seconds and then immediately swam away in a direction of their choice – safe and sound. For more information on the Kalama Falls Hatchery Study, click here. Aquaculture Fish Welfare Study Whooshh Innovations also conducted a study to determine whether the Whooshh ransport system provides better fish welfare (less stress on the fish) than aqua pumps or hand carriage handling. The testing took place in Norway and entailed the transfer of broodstock Atlantic salmon between tanks. he independent study concluded, that the Whooshh transport system does not cause stress, behavior changes, or any other welfare concerns for the fish. For more information on the Aquaculture Fish Welfare Study, click here. G Force Study Perhaps most dramatically, Whooshh also conducted a study to determine whether subject fish would experience any extraordinary, potentially harmful G Forces during their speedy passage through the Whooshh fish transport system. Study data indicated that the G Forces experienced on fish passing through a Whooshh system are generally quite low, momentary and transient. They are less than half the force a fish experiences when falling back into the water when dropped from a height of just 36 inches, which is the current level of force they feel during “trap and haul” operations. Lower impact means greater fish safety! For more information on the G Force Study, click here. Data-Backed Investment Diversify your portfolio with Whooshh Innovations on StartEngine.

Warmly, Vincent Bryan CEO Whooshh 03.10.23 TO PUT OUR MIND AT EASE THIS WEEKEND Dear Whooshh Investors, Many of you have heard about the failure of Silicon Valley Bank today. Many start-up's, especially venture backed start-ups, use Silicon Valley Bank. I am writing to assure all of our Whooshh Innovations investors that: 1) We do not have any accounts at Silicon Valley Bank 2) We have three banks to spread credit risk. 3) None of our bank accounts exceed the $250k FDIC limit. If you have any further questions, please use the comments section on the Startengine page. Have a great weekend. Sincerely, Vincent E Bryan III, CEO Whooshh Innovations Inc. 02.28.23 WHOOSHH INNOVATION AND OUR WIN-WIN SOLUTION Hello Whooshh Innovations Community, HOW DAMS IMPACT CLIMATE CHANGE Addressing climate change requires a comprehensive and global effort that involves multiple solutions, including the use of dams for hydroelectric power generation. The issue of fish passage at dams is often overlooked in the context of climate change and how it affects fish populations by altering water temperatures and flow patterns, which can impact migration and breeding habits. The construction and maintenance of fish ladders can require heavy machinery, which emits greenhouse gases. Additionally, they can disrupt the natural flow of rivers, affecting the overall health of the aquatic ecosystem, which could have a negative impact on climate change. Dams can also significantly impact fish populations by blocking migration routes and altering habitats. This can lead to reduced genetic diversity, decreased population size, and increased risk of extinction for certain species. Several species of native fish have evolved to navigate quickly over dams to reach their spawning grounds, and their agility and quickness are vital to their survival and reproductive success. However, some fish species need help to navigate dams in this manner. Many species of salmon, steelhead, and other migratory fish rely on rivers that flow freely to access their spawning grounds. Dams can trap these species below the dam, preventing them from reaching their spawning grounds and resulting in population declines and an increased risk of extinction. These changes also impact the survival and growth of salmon and can also affect the quality and quantity of their habitat. A DAM EASY SOLUTION TO FISH MIGRATION Whooshh Innovations aims to change public perceptions of dams and fish passage through our groundbreaking technology and has the potential to change public perceptions by increasing awareness and understanding of the issues involved. The Passage Portal and the famous Salmon Cannon are designed to ensure native fish migrate safely, more quickly, and without spilling water. Comparatively to the cost of designing, building, and operating a customized civil engineering solution, our systems are modular, flexible, and relatively inexpensive. We have developed systems that enable native fish to pass over dams in seconds to regain access to their spawning grounds. As a result, fish expend far less energy and experience less stress while reaching cleaner, safer, and more spawning habitats with fewer pre-spawning deaths. Our approach does not require the use of concrete infrastructure or additional, unnecessary water consumption, nor does it permanently impact the environment. We've been able to reduce injuries, mortalities, and stress by gently handling fish without producing waste water, thereby improving survivability, fecundity, and, ultimately, the value of the fish.

Often along streambeds the issue can be resolved by adding more trees for shade along the banks. However, we have proposed floating solar panels in the forebay above dams to: 1) keep the slow moving surface water in the forebay from heating up for the fish; 2) reduce evaporation; 3) supply renewable power to our fish passage equipment. While we have at least two dam project proposals out where we have proposed such use of solar as part of the solution, we have not yet deployed such solar powered solution.

I am excited to see the progress and great news you have posted! I try to invest in a way that can benefit the environment and wildlife as much as possible but I would still need to get a return on my investment of course. That is my issue at this time, I am having trouble seeing a clear return on my investment especially if I increase that invested amount. I understand companies as your require considerable time to offer tangible returns or exits. Such as IPOs or buy outs. But, considering what I understand about your business and how much you work with federal and state governments, I do not see how those “exits” would happen compared to a company that makes a more public product or service. If there is a larger amount to invest that would increase the chance of these returns I would appreciate some info on that. I appreciate your time and wish you guys the best of luck in the new year!

SHOW MORE 1 0 VB VINCENT BRYAN III Whooshh Innovations Inc. • 3 months ago Hi Ehren, 70% of the dams in the U.S. are privately owned, so we are not reliant on government funding. Nevertheless, the hundreds of millions of dollars in the U.S. Infrastructure bill and the Inflation Reduction act bill in the U.S. that passed in 2022 are only recently actually working their way to the federal projects. In addition, the Omnibus bill for the 2023 budget just passed had significantly more money in it for the Department of Energies Water Power Technologies Office, with specific provision for fish passage. Indeed we have submitted paperwork on no less than 9 projects in the last three weeks, just to give you an idea of how much work there is to be done. Historically hydropower has received bi-partisan support, and the ongoing UnCommon Dialogue between Hydropower, NGO's and Tribes has furthered the bi-partisan support. In short, over the next 5-10 years, there are so many opportunities that will be funded the biggest concern we have is how to scale up fast enough when investors own concerns have increased. In short, we need investors to be bold and invest now, and we will emerge as an unquestioned leader. If funding federal projects were to become a concern, we could always turn to state legislatures that have their own clean energy and environmental goals, especially where we have already been active, to assure continued government supported project growth. In the EU, the Water Framework Directive requires all EU member nations to have fish passage legislation for all interconnected waterways in less than 10 years. The opportunities in Asia and Africa are also clear. We have been encouraging the U.N. development banks to include funding for fish passage and require it as a condition precedent to funding any future hydro projects. In sum, the relationships we have built with the agencies over many years now will help keep us immune to any federal gridlock. It is never easy, and nothing is certain, but you will see in coming updates that the pipeline is strong.

HOW DO YOU PLAN ON EVENTUALLY REPAYING INVESTORS? IPO? M&A? DIVIDENDS? M&A-WISE WHAT COMPANIES OR TYPES OF COMPANIES WOULD BE INTERESTED IN BUYING WHOOSHH? IPO-WISE WHAT WOULD BE PUBLIC MARKET COMPARABLES OR COMPARABLE EXITS TO WHOOSHH? THANKS SHOW MORE 1 0 VB VINCENT BRYAN III Whooshh Innovations Inc. • 5 months ago Hi Felix, Great questions, not all easily answered in this format. I'll do my best. Regarding valuation, this is addressed in the Reg C form. The Board set the valuation this round. We did have outside valuation done the first round to give us a basis for the valuation. As you know, with most companies in the early stage, valuation is based more on market potential, market size and milestones achieved than the typical public market metrics. We do foresee that the business model will enable dividends in the future, but this is not yet on the table. That would be a Board decision in due course. M&A wise, our advisors identified two entity types as most likely: Strategic and Financial. While we maintain a list of both type of companies identified, this is not something we would publicly disclose for obvious reasons. I can say that we do see that a strategic investors are more likely to be aligned with the Company's mission and our investors financial goals. Having said that, building relationships with both types of companies is one of my priorities to assure the best possible outcome for all owners/investors. Comparables in the public market are not easily identified at this point given our unique product and market focus. Knightscope is one company that started on Startengine that is now in the public market that comes to mind. While they are obviously in a different market segment, they do have a disruptive solution to an established industry with a compelling need. Unfortunately for them, their timing of their IPO was not good in the marketplace and their stock price has suffered since they went public, so it is a cautionary tale for us about the IPO route.

DIVERSE INVESTMENTS Invest in over 200 start-ups and collectibles! How much can I invest? With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors. With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts. When will I receive my shares? At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward. Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal. What will the return on my investment be? StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes. Can I cancel my investment? For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled. For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular. Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days. Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment. What is the difference between Regulation Crowdfunding and Regulation A+? Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
