Generated from EDGAR primary sources

Series 8-1, a series of StartEngine Private LLC, is a special purpose vehicle filed under Rule 506(c) that raised $181K from 13 investors with a $14K minimum investment. Filed January 2, 2024, this entity is part of the StartEngine platform ecosystem, which manages 117+ related EDGAR entities focused on pre-IPO equity investments.

This 506(c) offering fits the emerging pattern of platform-managed micro-SPVs enabling retail-scale access to pre-IPO equity. The $14K minimum and sub-$200K total raise represent the lower end of alternative investment minimums, consistent with crowdfunding-adjacent syndication models that aggregate small checks into single-company positions.
