U radu se kroz pregled postojećih istraživanja analizira pojam organizacijske legitimnosti startupova, te glavne značajke procesa izgradnje legitimiteta startupova kroz digitalni kontekst grupnog financiranja (crowdfunding). Crowdfunding kao jedan od novijih modela financiranja predstavlja, između ostalog, jedan od mogućih kanala kreiranja organizacijskog legitimiteta, tj. strategiju vrednovanja idejnog koncepta startupova i pribavljanja resursa. U takvom digitalnom okruženju legitimnost te posljedično uspješnost realizacije poslovnog koncepta na tržištu, ovisi o specifičnostima digitalnog okruženja i institucionalne logike sudionika dvostrane digitalne platforme. Svrha rada je istražiti koncept organizacijske legitimnosti startup poduzetnika u kontekstu crowdfundinga. Cilj rada je pružiti pregled rezultata postojećih istraživanja o specifičnostima procesa izgradnje legitimiteta startupova u crowdfundingu te pretežitim teorijskim pristupima u pozadini interpretacije poduzetničkog odlučivanja u navedenom procesu. Metodološki pristup istraživanja je analiza i sinteza postojećih rezultata istraživanja temeljnog koncepta organizacijske legitimnosti te uspostavljene veze sa kontekstom crowdfundinga. Sukladno rezultatima istraživanja, navedene su implikacije i smjernice za daljnji teorijski doprinos u procesu izgradnje legitimiteta startupova, kao i praktične implikacije usmjerene prvenstveno startupovima te ostalim dionicima poduzetničkog ekosustava u okviru crowdfundinga.

Full textAbstract:
Crowdfunding improves access to financing, yet cases of crowdfunding’s importance, besides traditional financing, are rare and notably localized. In explaining why global crowdfunding volumes are so heterogeneous, previous academic research has focused mainly on the existence of a legal system that is supportive of crowdfunding, but with conflicting results. We argue that a broader range of institutions must be considered to describe the spread of crowdfunding at its current early stage of development, and provide first empirical evidence on the matter. Using a dataset covering crowdfunding volumes of 122 countries over the years 2015–2016, we confirm that the existence of crowdfunding-specific regulations has a positive association with total crowdfunding volumes per capita. We also find that regulation targeted at a specific type of crowdfunding has an economically stronger association with corresponding transaction volumes. In line with our argument, we find that a significantly broader range of less crowdfunding-specific institutions exhibit strong ties to crowdfunding volumes, with strong e-service culture emerging as an especially robust determinant of all types of crowdfunding volumes. Stronger legal rights, greater financial freedom, and higher democracy levels are also associated with greater total crowdfunding volumes, but exhibit varying relevance across different types of crowdfunding.

Full textAbstract:
Scarcity is an instrument that is often used in crowdfunding. Crowdfunding is an alternative form of financing, especially for entrepreneurs in the early-stage development phase. This paper deals with the characteristics of profitable crowdfunding projects. Hereby, we examine the impact factors of crowdfunding’s profitability, with a special focus on limited availability (scarcity), depth of project description and the size of pledging goals as follows. Therefore, we analyze data from kickstarter.com, one of the world’s largest crowdfunding platforms, and used 494 projects and 4,224 pledge levels from the broad category technology as our database. Technology projects lend themselves particularly well to the study, as they usually contain the project result as a tangible return, thus facilitating or even enabling the monetary evaluation of the success in contrast to, for example, cultural projects. Hence, our sample includes 32% of pledge levels with limited availability. We provide empirical evidence that the limited availability in the crowdfunding projects in terms of scarcity management is positively related to the profitability of the included pledge levels. We conclude that crowdfunding projects with limited availability on pledge levels are more profitable for investors.

Full textAbstract:
Crowdfunding provides innovation in enabling entrepreneurs to contract with consumers before investment. Under aggregate demand uncertainty, this improves screening for valuable projects. Entrepreneurial moral hazard and private cost information threatens this benefit. Crowdfunding's after-markets enable consumers to actively implement deferred payments and thereby manage moral hazard. Popular crowdfunding platforms offer schemes that allow consumers to do so through conditional pledging behavior. Efficiency is sustainable only if expected returns exceed an agency cost associated with the entrepreneurial incentive problems. By reducing demand uncertainty, crowdfunding promotes welfare and complements traditional entrepreneurial financing, which focuses on controlling moral hazard. (JEL D21, D81, D82, D86, G32, L26)

Purpose This paper gathers initial evidence about the nature and features of the equity crowdfunding model in Italy, especially in terms of regulations. The purpose of this study is to examine how equity crowdfunding might support the real estate sector in Italy. Design/methodology/approach To explore the recent initiatives in the development of FinTech in Italy, especially referring to equity crowdfunding’s instrument, a qualitative perspective is used. In particular, this paper relies on primary data from regulations and secondary data from the public domain, which are examined in relation to the current literature. Findings The results of this study show that equity crowdfunding represents a funding method that is rapidly increasing in Italy, despite rather rigid regulation. Among the various sectors involved, the real estate sector could benefit from the crowdfunding models and, specifically, from the equity one. The development of new real estate equity crowdfunding portals that allow diversification of investment (by reducing the typical entry barriers for real estate investment) could guarantee greater investment transparency and simplicity. Practical implications Real estate crowdfunding can be a simple way to invest in the real estate industry. Thanks to the use of technology, specifically internet-based platforms, this type of crowdfunding allows for small investors, as well as professional investors, to access an asset class otherwise not open to small investment tickets and improve the diversification of investments. Originality/value Although recent literature has examined the concept of crowdfunding and highlighted different models, aspects and campaigns, no prior studies, to the authors’ knowledge, have explicitly and jointly investigated, also based on the state of art of regulation, the equity crowdfunding model and the real estate sector in Italy.

Full textAbstract:
Micro and social entrepreneurs face multiple challenges, including limited access to funding, knowledge systems, networks, and markets, which limit the growth and development of their ventures. This study seeks to understand how the participation in crowdfunding and its utilization to internationalize can help micro and social enterprises address challenges through social capital. Through a narrative review of literature anchored on the resource-based and knowledge-based theories of the firm and the theory of social capital, this study finds that crowdfunding provides access to funding, knowledge systems, and networks. Moreover, the participation in crowdfunding provides access to large, international markets. However, despite these benefits, there remains challenges to micro and social enterprise participation in crowdfunding as there is low awareness and adoption in developing countries. Furthermore, there is still question on crowdfunding’s viability as an internationalization strategy. The study ends by identifying directions for future research.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to analyze crowdfunding’s economic success in the Gulf region as the Crowdfunding (CF) experience and practice in this part of the world tend to be unexplored in terms of research. In particular, the study examines whether the adoption of entrepreneurial finance (EF) principles in crowdfunding platforms affects the economic success of funding and entrepreneurs’ ability in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to access financial resources. The study uses an online questionnaire survey on Crowdfunding economic success in the GCC to collect information from the participants. Participants are investors, entrepreneurs, and startups from five Gulf countries (i.e., Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and UAE) in addition to several Crowdfunding platforms commonly used by crowdfunders in this region (such as Indiegogo, Kickstarter, Eureeca, Beehive and GoFundMe) with total members (102964). Signaling theory and principle-agent theory combine to make a theoretical foundation that explains the relationship between funders and fundraisers. The pilot sample consisting of 10 units was used to validate and verify the research instrument of the study. The research sample consists of 1145 respondents (sample size n = 1145) selected randomly from the five Gulf countries included in the study. The findings reveal that CF’s presence positively impacts economic fundraising success and that crowdfunding platforms are an effective financial technology (Fintech) tool for financing entrepreneurs in the GCC. We conclude with recommendations for future EF and CF research. The findings of this study will have implications for improvements in practices of economic and finance. They may be used as a guide towards advancing the management and performance of the crowdfunding platforms in the Gulf region. Presently, a very few number of published research on crowdfunding exist in this region. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, there is no single study investigating crowdfunding as an alternative financing source in the GCC.

Welche Herausforderung Crowdfunding als alternatives Finanzierungsinstrument für Banken darstellt und wie sie Chancen daraus nützen können. Die Autorin untersuchte im Zuge ihres Studienabschlusses in einer in Englisch verfassten Masterarbeit die Chancen und Herausforderungen für Banken mit schenkungsbasiertem Crowdfunding. Nachdem die Autorin die empirische Literatur rund um diese Kernfrage ausgewertet hat, versuchte sie anhand einer eigenen Studie die Motive von Banken zum Einsatz von Crowdfunding herauszufinden. Ihr Fazit: Spenden ist so angesagt wie noch nie zuvor: Das Community-Denken gewinnt in unserer Gesellschaft immer mehr an Bedeutung, was auch die Entwicklung des sogenannten „Crowdfundings“ fördert. Banken stehen vor großen Herausforderungen und viele rechtliche Restriktionen lassen das Fördern von jungen Start-ups oder kreativen Projekten oftmals nicht zu. Dadurch gewinnt das Sammeln von Geld über das anonyme Publikum auf Internet-Plattformen noch mehr an Attraktivität. Doch anstatt sich von alternativen Finanzierungsformen in die Enge treiben zu lassen, haben einige Banken bereits damit begonnen, selbstständig Crowdfunding-Plattformen zu betreiben. Mit dieser Idee beschäftigt sich auch die Studie des vorliegenden Artikels. Fakt ist, dass eine eigene Crowdfunding-Plattform die Bank bei der Digitalisierung und im Cross-Channel-Vertrieb unterstützt. Durch das widergespiegelte moderne Image kann auch die Kundenbeziehung intensiviert sowie Neukunden gewonnen werden. Positive Praxisbeispiele belegen dabei den Erfolg von bankeigenen Crowdfunding-Plattformen. Donating is as famous as it never used to be before: The community thinking in our society becomes more and more famous. This movement encourages the development of “crowdfunding”. Banks are faced with major challenges. Due to legal restrictions they can no longer grant financial support for young start-ups or creative projects. Therefore, the raising of money for business ideas and social initiatives via the anonymous audience on internet platforms becomes even more attractive. In order to stay competitive with these alternative financing forms some banks started to establish their own crowdfunding platforms. This idea represents the foundation of the underlying study in this article. By investigating the chances and challenges crowdfunding could offer to banks it is clear that crowdfunding platforms facilitate the digitalization and the cross-channel marketing. Moreover, the modern image transferred to the customers can create long-term relationships and attract new customers. Positive practical examples demonstrate the success of bank-owned crowding platforms. Keywords: „social value“, finanzierungsalternative, fach know how, crowdinvesting, crowdfunding plattform

The Regulation on European Crowdfunding Service Providers (ECSPs) for businesses, since its Proposal by the European Commission in March 2018, has experienced difficult trilateral negotiations. The length of the legislative process relates not only to nationalism resurgence, uncertain Brexit negotiations and COVID-19 outbreak but also to different views about crowdfunding and its optimal regulation within the three European Institutions. The present paper, after describing crowdfunding’s main features, will critically analyze the ECSPs Regulation in details as eventually adopted in October 2020, also in comparison with the alternative options available and their relative implications, in order to discuss the resulting picture of crowdfunding and its future under the new European regime, also providing suggestions for certain adjustments.

Zusammenfassung Am 10. 11. 2021 ist die Verordnung über Europäische Schwarmfinanzierungsdienstleister für Unternehmen (European Crowdfunding Service Provider-Verordnung, „ECSP-VO“) in Kraft getreten. Erklärte Ziele: Den Markt für renditeorientiertes Crowdfunding in Europa zur Beseitigung der Fragmentierung des Rechtsrahmens auf ein neues Fundament zu stellen, den Wettbewerb zwischen Crowdfundingplattformen zu verbessern und Marktteilnehmern in kleinen Mitgliedsstaaten mit weniger ausgeprägten Crowdfundingmärkten besseren Zugang zu Kapital und Anlagemöglichkeiten zu geben. Mit Ablauf des Übergangszeitraums am 10. 11. 2023 gilt die ECSP-VO für alle in ihren Anwendungsbereich fallenden Crowdfunding-Modelle verpflichtend. Noch vor Verabschiedung des finalen Entwurfs der Verordnung wurde in der Literatur vor allem die Frage nach dem Anwendungsbereich aufgeworfen, die auch heute noch nicht eindeutig beantwortet ist. Genau dieser Frage widmet sich ausweislich des Untertitels Johannes Öhmann in seiner Dissertation zur ECSP-VO mit Blick auf die deutschen Anlageformen. Das Entstehen der Problematik drängt sich auf: Da die Regulierung europäisch ist, sich in den Ländern jedoch bisher verschiedene Modelle des Crowdfundings herausgebildet haben, muss untersucht werden, wie sich die nationalen Crowdfunding-Modelle und die jeweils genutzten Anlageformen zur ECSP-VO verhalten. Während sich Öhmann auf die größte Frage des produktspezifischen Anwendungsbereichs konzentriert (welche Rechtsgestaltungen sind als Anlageinstrumente von der ECSP-VO erfasst?), sollen hier auch noch einige weitere jüngst behandelte Fragen zum Anwendungsbereich thematisiert werden.

Full textAbstract:
Crowdfunding is helping to drive financial inclusion by expanding the availability of funds to traditionally excluded and underserved groups of individuals, such as ethnic minority and female entrepreneurs. This study verifies how ethnic and gender similarity between investor and entrepreneur can affect the invested amount in an equity crowdfunding campaign. Using an integrated approach with linear regression and Shapley decomposition, we analyze 8600 investments made by 5996 unique personal shareholder investors in 81 equity crowdfunding campaigns. Results show that similarity patterns seem to significantly influence the amount invested in a campaign but their effects change according to investor’s gender and ethnic origin. In fact, even if female investors give a higher amount to men-led companies, their preference changes if the company is run by a female founder belonging to the same ethnic minority group. Results emphasize equity crowdfunding’s potential as a tool for the financial inclusion of ethnic minority groups of investors and entrepreneurs.

Using a literature review, this study aims to describe crowdfunding and show how sharia crowdfunding is developing in Indonesia. The results of the study show that crowdfunding has continued to develop in Indonesia since it was first popular in 2009. Sharia crowdfunding has the potential to benefit the business world in accessing capital, increasing welfare, and general economic growth. Another finding is that the implementation of sharia crowdfunding is divided into four categories; donation-based, reward-based, asset-based and equity-based crowdfunding. Where there are differences between conventional crowdfunding and sharia crowdfunding from the four categories. In addition, sharia crowdfunding is also faced with several future issues that must be faced, such as: public trust in crowdfunding, quality and understanding, contract innovation, partnerships with banks, integration with NBFIs, especially MFIs and being able to develop businesses that have high risk.

This paper gives an exploratory mathematical framework for crowdfunding pledging of utilities tunnel engineering project. For two typical types of “All-or-Nothing” and “Keep-it-All” platforms, it analyzes the crowdfunding process how to operate on the platforms for the project. There are four types of crowdfunding modes, and a utilities tunnel project can flexibly choose one or several crowdfunding types analyzed in this paper to improve project construction according to the status of the project. Debt crowdfunding should design rational interest payment mechanism and Macaulay duration, and equity crowdfunding should consider the backers may get dividend and capital revenue for a utilities tunnel project. Simulation analyses of debt crowdfunding and equity crowdfunding give some cases for project fulfillment. The founder of reward crowdfunding can give free or low price energy products to the backers, while the backers of donation crowdfunding are completely philanthropic to supply the pledged capital.

Design/methodology/approach – This study analyses 100 creative crowdfunding campaigns within the film and video category on crowdfunding website Kickstarter. Campaigns were analysed in relation to a number of variables, followed by a discriminant analysis to highlight the main predictors of crowdfunding success. Findings – This study finds key predictors of crowdfunding success and investigates differences between successful and failed crowdfunding campaigns. The attributes of these predictors lead us to question the long-term ability of crowdfunding to aid companies poorer in terms of time, financial and personnel resources, and therefore arguably in the greatest need of crowdfunding platforms. Practical implications – The findings provide insight to practitioners considering the crowdfunding approach and offers knowledge and recommendations so as to avoid what can be naïve and costly mistakes. The findings highlight that crowdfunding should not be considered lightly and can be a considerable investment of resources to be successful. Originality/value – The analysis of crowdfunding campaigns provides details on the significant predictors of crowdfunding success particularly relevant to creative campaigns. The findings provide a critique of previous claims about the benefit of crowdfunding for creative SMEs.

The transformation of technological orientation and crowdfunding as innovative concepts combined with cutting-edge digital tools provides the foundation for outstanding fundraising success. Therefore, this study aims to explore the relationship between technology orientation (TO) and crowdfunding performance. Additionally, this research also investigates how crowdfunding digital platform mediates and innovation strategy moderates in the linkage between crowdfunding performance and technology orientation. Data were collected through a questionnaire on the basis of cross-sectional research design. Structural econometric models for direct and indirect analyses were conducted to test hypotheses. The results confirmed the direct positive impact of technology orientation on crowdfunding performance. Moreover, the findings prove the mediating role of a crowdfunding digital platform and moderating role of innovation strategy between technology orientation and crowdfunding performance. Fundraisers are required to give attention to technology orientation for the acceptance and adoption of the latest advancements in technology. They must consider digital platforms for fundraising and pay proper attention to innovation strategy for achieving the needed crowdfunding performance. This research discusses how return base crowdfunding performance occurs; in future, other researchers may provide evidence on donations/charity campaign base crowdfunding. This is the first study in the context of digital transformation that explored the nexus of technology orientation, crowdfunding digital platform and innovation strategy for attaining crowdfunding performance.

Full textAbstract:
Background: In developing countries like India, where out-of-pocket expenditure forms a large part of overall health spending, crowdfunding can be an alternative to ease peoples’ financial burden. The COVID-19 pandemic in India imposed a huge financial strain on people causing many to turn to crowdfunding to pay for their medical expenses. Health professionals can play an important role in raising awareness among people regarding medical crowdfunding. The aim of the study was to assess the awareness and perception about crowdfunding among health care professionals and analyse COVID-19 relief campaigns run by selected crowdfunding platforms in India.Methods: A mixed methods study was conducted including cross-sectional online survey among healthcare professionals and secondary analysis of COVID-19 relief campaigns run by crowdfunding platforms in India.Results: Among 155 participants in our study, 121 (78%) were aware about crowdfunding and most of them (93%) had come to know about crowdfunding during the pandemic. Participants who had previously known someone who required funds to support their medical treatment had greater knowledge regarding crowdfunding (p=0.04) and believed that crowdfunding can reduce individual financial burden (p=0.02). However, 30% participants did not trust online crowdfunding platforms to be genuine. Three crowdfunding platforms (Ketto, Milaap and Impact Guru) were analysed for COVID-19 relief campaigns- most campaigns were run to raise funds for medical oxygen/oxygen concentrators.Conclusions: We found that previous experience of unmet financial need affects both knowledge and trust in medical crowdfunding. There is a need to improve awareness and confidence related to crowdfunding among health care professionals.

Purpose To explain the new Crowdfunding Regulation to market participants and to describe the impact of the Crowdfunding Regulation on current crowdfunding business models in the European Union. Design/methodology/approach This article provides an overview of the new Crowdfunding Regulation with a focus on the provisions concerning cross-border services (“European Passport”) and the new authorization requirements for crowdfunding service providers. Findings In particular the introduction of the European passport will open new funding sources for project owners. This together with the harmonized authorization requirements of crowdfunding service providers is expected to contribute to further growth of the crowdfunding market in the European Union. The Crowdfunding Regulation is a further step on the way to a Capital Markets Union in Europe and regulates crowdfunding for the first time on a European level. Practical implications The Crowdfunding Regulation does not cover all existing crowdfunding business models in Europe (e.g., consumer as project owners and qualified subordinated loans are exempted). Insofar, the rules of the Member States continue to apply with the consequence of a partial fragmentation of applicable regulations.

Malaysia's fastest-growing alternative company financing source is crowdfunding. For business owners with creative concepts who otherwise might not have raised the money, it is a seductive chance to take advantage of the audience's influence and launch products and initiatives. Equity-based crowdfunding systems allow investors to pool their funds to participate in businesses, enabling inexperienced investors to follow in their footsteps. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the existing research on the relationship between crowdfunding and firm performance among entrepreneurs. While crowdfunding has gained prominence as a funding mechanism, there is a need to understand its impact on firm performance. This study used the PRISMA approach. The systematic search of academic databases using Scopus and Web of Science yielded a comprehensive selection of studies, reviews and articles related to crowdfunding for the firm performance. After applying an advanced searching approach using keyword crowdfunding, firm performance, and entrepreneurs. The analysis revealed that crowdfunding played a pivotal role in maintaining final finding data (n=30), which reviewed identified key themes, including crowdfunding performance and mechanisms, financing and economic impact, and crowdfunding and entrepreneurship. Expect validation is divided into three themes: crowdfunding performance and mechanisms, financing and economic impact, and crowdfunding and entrepreneurship. Our review synthesizes findings from over 30 studies, revealing diverse and complex relationships between crowdfunding and firm performance. This study highlights the significance of factors such as crowdfunding model choice and the cultivation of social capital. Further research is essential to provide a nuanced understanding of how entrepreneurs can leverage crowdfunding to enhance their firm performance. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on crowdfunding and offers insights that can inform both entrepreneurs and policymakers.

Crowdfunding is an innovative form of financial support that is increasingly used around the world. Crowdfunding can provide a new investment channel and help those with innovative ideas and start-up businesses to circumvent traditional financing struggles and secure alternative finance. This paper presents an overview of crowdfunding, its fundamentals, and its main participants. Specifically, it explores the characteristics of crowdfunding in Saudi Arabia by examining the first and successful crowdfunding platform (Manafa) to be licensed by the country’s capital market authority. This paper shows that the sole applicable model in Saudi Arabia is equity-based crowdfunding, and this is significantly controlled and operated under a more efficient legal framework than much foreign crowdfunding. However, the Saudi market would benefit from greater awareness of crowdfunding as a new investment channel, and from the introduction of the debt-based crowdfunding model in accordance with Saudi market regulations.

Purpose Crowdfunding has become a popular and achievable means of funding projects worldwide. The purpose of this study is to determine which personal and social traits can increase individuals’ intention to participate in crowdfunding. Design/methodology/approach This study examines innovativeness, attitudes toward helping others and interpersonal connectivity as determinants of consumers’ intention to participate in crowdfunding. Social identification with the crowdfunding community is proposed as a mediator in the model. Findings The results show that both social identification with the crowdfunding community and innovativeness have a positive effect on intention to participate. In addition, attitudes toward helping others and interpersonal connectivity indirectly affect intention to participate in crowdfunding through social identification with the crowdfunding community. Research limitations/implications This study analyzes a general audience of potential crowdfunders; therefore, the results identify just the indications for potential intentions to participate in crowdfunding activities. Practical implications Companies or fund-seekers currently using or expecting to use crowdfunding have to develop strategies focused on promoting social identification with the crowdfunding community. More effort should be devoted for developing consumers’ social relationships and ties within the crowdfunding community. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature by clarifying the characteristics that potential crowdfunders should have to be more prone to participate in these types of projects.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined the product line design under two different types of reward crowdfunding, namely, the fixed and the flexible reward crowdfunding. To investigate different effects of the two different reward crowdfunding mechanisms, we addressed the problem of product and pricing decisions in reward crowdfunding by incorporating individual rationality and incentive compatibility into different funding modes. Specifically, when the creator designed the menu price, we compared the menu design, which includes price and quality between the product line under two different crowdfunding mechanisms. We found that when the quality was exogenous, the project could have higher success rate and get more expected profit under the fixed reward crowdfunding than that under the flexible reward crowdfunding; however, the creator could set a higher target and a larger price discrepancy under the flexible reward crowdfunding in some specific market condition. Then, we extended to the situation where the quality was endogenous and found the similar results as the quality was exogenous. Interestingly, the quality differentiation of the product line under the flexible reward crowdfunding is much more than that under the fixed reward crowdfunding. These results can provide the guideline and suggestion to help the creators design their product line, set the target, and select the suitable modes between the fixed and the flexible reward crowdfunding.

As is also the case in other parts of the world, Salafi interpretations of Islam appear to be on the rise in Sweden, especially among young people turning to Islam. One of the most active and visible missionising Salafi organisations in Sweden is called islam.nu. It is based in Stockholm but has a national outreach programme and a very active online presence. This article focuses on islam.nu and a dawa campaign called #karavanen (the Caravan) and how it was advertised and developed on the social media platform Instagram from March 2018 to March 2020. By using market and consumer value theories to analyse the Instagram content related to the #karavanen, the article is an explorative attempt to approach contemporary Salafi missionising and growth from a new perspective.

PurposeThis paper explores the peculiarities of sustainable crowdfunding from the project perspective. The research question is: what are the distinctive features of sustainable crowdfunding, in terms of crowdfunding motivation, platform choice, crowdfunding costs and relationships with backers?Design/methodology/approachThe current study follows a qualitative approach, through conducting in-depth interviews with representatives of sustainable projects, which have had successful crowdfunding campaigns. The selected projects represent various industries and crowdfunding models.FindingsSustainable entrepreneurs have both financial and non-financial motivations for crowdfunding. A distinctive feature is the importance of community engagement, since the community spirit of crowdfunding is well suited to sustainable projects. The choice of the crowdfunding platform is more complex for sustainable entrepreneurs, as they need to consider the platform's sustainability. Sustainable entrepreneurs also have to put more effort into their communication activities with potential backers, to compensate for the intangibility of sustainability claims. Moreover, they need to have a greater focus on building relationships with backers due to both the community spirit of their projects and legitimacy issues.Originality/valueThe current paper contributes to the limited literature on sustainable crowdfunding and the literature on funding of sustainable businesses and can act as a foundation for further research in this field. Current findings also have high practical value. Crowdfunding platforms may use the insights provided here to better meet the needs of sustainable entrepreneurs, while sustainable entrepreneurs can better understand what they need to pay attention to in their crowdfunding campaigns.

Abstract: A growing number of enterprises, including start-up firms, artistic activities, and charitable causes, are being funded through crowdfunding. Traditional crowdfunding websites, on the other hand, struggle with a variety of issues, including prohibitive pricing, a lack of transparency, and fraud concerns. These issues have led to an increase in the use of blockchain technology as a crowdfunding platform. A decentralized, open-source ledger using blockchain technology safely and permanently records transactions. It provides several advantages for crowdsourcing, including decreased costs, increased transparency, and improved efficiency. Blockchain technology has the potential to open up crowdfunding to a wider range of investors, particularly those in developing countries with limited access to traditional financial institutions. Blockchain technology can be utilised for crowdfunding and smart contracts as well. Numerous procedures associated with crowdfunding, such as fund disbursement and investor verification, can be automated thanks to these self-executing contracts. Automation allows for a significant reduction in administrative work and a faster, more precise crowdfunding procedure. The goal of this article is to advance understanding regarding the application of crowdfunding using blockchain technology. We'll review the body of literature on blockchain and crowdfunding, take into account the benefits and drawbacks of doing so, and offer a framework for implementing blockchain-based crowdfunding. Our study will contribute to the growing body of knowledge on blockchain and crowdfunding, which will be helpful to policymakers, company owners, and investors interested in using blockchain for crowdfunding.

Crowdfunding merupakan solusi bagi pelaku usaha untuk memperoleh modal yang cukup untuk mengembangkan atau menjalankan usahanya. Crowdfunding sendiri memiliki beberapa jenis, salah satunya berbasis ekuitas. Dana yang disimpan dalam crowdfunding berbasis ekuitas akan menjadi persentase kepemilikan unit usaha yang dikelola oleh UMKM sehingga dapat memberikan pendanaan jangka panjang. Di satu sisi, pemilik ekuitas dapat menerima pengembalian yang lebih tinggi dan dapat mengendalikan UMKM melalui kepemilikan ekuitas. Namun, mewujudkan platform crowdfunding berbasis ekuitas untuk UMKM membutuhkan beberapa studi yang lebih mendalam. Pengembangan model crowdfunding diwujudkan melalui beberapa hal, mulai dari peningkatan literasi bagi para pengelola UMKM dan calon investor, melakukan pemetaan terkait solusi pendanaan eksternal agar sesuai dengan bentuk usahanya, studi kelayakan terkait pelaksanaan suatu kerangka crowdfunding terkait dengan standar operasional dan hal teknis lain, serta langkah terakhir ialah rancangan platform crowdfunding yang diharapkan dapat menyederhanakan proses crowdfunding.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions of property investors of the risks and returns associated with property crowdfunding as an investment vehicle. The study contributes to the understanding of alternative property investment vehicles and how it is perceived by investors. Design/methodology/approach The study focusses on investor perceptions in using property crowdfunding as an investment vehicle and follows a survey-based design. A questionnaire was finalised after the completion of a pilot study and was distributed to existing property crowdfunding investors via email. Inferential statistical measures were used. Findings The results show, to an extent, similarities to general equity-based crowdfunding studies. However, the uniqueness of property crowdfunding as an investment vehicle may explain the insignificance of the results when related to other studies. Overall, the property crowdfunding investor seems to present cautious behaviour with a conservative perception of property crowdfunding as an investment vehicle. Practical implications It is recommended that property crowdfunding platforms present prospective investors with more formal regulation of the property crowdfunding industry. Such a regulatory framework may lessen the current level of uncertainty presented by investors. Originality/value The study enhances the understanding of the role of property crowdfunding as an alternative investment vehicle in Australia. More importantly, it went some way towards enhancing the understanding of how investors perceive and behave vis-à-vis property crowdfunding as an investment vehicle.
