Backer or donor has recourse if a campaign fails to deliver or misuses funds: Strong. SEC Regulation Crowdfunding requires a funding portal to direct investors to transmit money to a qualified third party, a registered broker-dealer or a bank, which holds the funds and transmits them to the company only once investment commitments reach the offering's target amount; an investor may cancel a commitment for any reason until 48 hours before the offering deadline. StartEngine's own investor FAQ confirms funds are withdrawn from an investor's account only once a company has exceeded its minimum funding goal and escrow has been opened. source↗ 2026
