For all of you entrepreneurs thinking about signing up for Startups.co ---DON'T!!! Startups.co is an absolute rip off scam. I have been on this website for more than 3 months now and they do not have one legitimate investor. Startups.co markets itself as an investor funding portal with ""thousands"" of qualified accredited investors. Guess what? They're all people looking to market their own services to you. A complete crock of utter bulls*** Startups.co is a JOKE. When you call Startups.co on their 800#, you get a recording saying that they're ""busy"" with other customers and to leave a message. Startups.co is a fraud operation.
If you are looking for investors DO NOT use Startups.co. They will rip you off. That much is guaranteed.
Purhased a $199 monthly plan for "access to investors". Sent initial batch of outreach - crickets.
Was also upsold a "Premium" package for another $199, saying I'd be front and center in front of investors. Nothing.
Mentioned I wasnt getting a single iota of engagement - asked for assistance.
Was given the old "you've been cancelled - no more charges made to your account, with no mention of the vanishing $400"
I replied by asking for a refund, at which point i was told there are no refunds - (always the sign of an honest product...).
...but, that they'd do me a favor and refund $199 of my $400 as a "courtesy". How nice of them.
My guess is they have thousands of people working hard to start their businessees and chase their dreams, billing 95% of them each month and providing absolutely ZERO value.
Great marketing! Someone is getting rich...just not the customers they are "serving".
