Assistant professor, T.John Insitute of Management and Science. In the present scenerio, crowdfunding individuals collectively contributing money to back different goals and projects through the internet has proven to be a viable alternative for raising funds.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/) How do we study crowdfunding? An overview of methods and introduction to new research agenda1 Agata Stasik2, Ewa Wilczyńska3 Submitted: 19.07.2017. Final acceptance: 12.12.2017 Abstract Purpose: Crowdfunding is a global phenomenon of rising significance and impact on different areas of business and social life, investigated across many academic disciplines. The goal of the article is to present the variety of methods applied in crowdfunding research, assess their strengths and weaknesses, offer the typology of methodological approaches, and suggest the most promising direction for further studies. Design/methodology: The paper is based on the review of the most recent academic and industry lite­ rature on crowdfunding and own analysis of data presented by crowdfunding platforms’ operators. Findings: The article incorporates interrelations of methods, goals of inquiries, and types of results to propose a typology of methodological approaches that researchers currently apply to crowdfund­ ing: from platform­centred to multi­sited. The authors discuss the advantages and limitations of the identified approaches with the use of multiple examples of recent and most influential studies from the field and propose the most urgent direction of future inquiries. Research limitations/implications: The overview renders crowdfunding studies more accessible for potential newcomers to the field and strengthens transdisciplinary discussion on crowdfunding. Despite the broad variety of the analyzed articles that reflect the newest trends, the sample is not representative in the statistical meanings of the term.

We investigate the factors influencing three outcomes: the success of the offering, the fundraising target, and matching between entrepreneurial ventures and crowdfunding platforms. In all markets, higher equity retention by original entrepreneurs positively affects the chances of success of the offerings and amount of capital raised.

    January 30th, 2014 Submission via Web Site Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, DC 20549 Re: Improving Regulation Crowdfunding to Attract High-Quality Startups We appreciate the opportunity to comment on the proposed crowdfunding rules. Wefunder is a crowdfunding platform for startups. Founded in 2011, we helped Senator Brown, Senator Merkley, and Congressman McHenry during the drafting of the legislation, and were invited to the White House when it was signed into law. Since then, we’ve helped early-stage startups raise over $2 million from our 25,000+ users via 506 offerings. Startups seed funded on Wefunder have since raised over $20 million in venture capital. Our mission is to democratize startup investing so that every American has the opportunity to invest in high-quality startups. As one of the few accredited crowdfunding platforms to raise funds for startups that are highly competitive among professional investors, our comments are focused on improving the rules so that credible startups conside using 4(a)(6). Otherwise, the worst outcome will occur: only companies who are rejected by professional investors – and have no other option - will raise funds from the crowd. Our letter is divided into two sections. First, we address three of the proposed rules that were wisely crafted, and if modified in the final rules, could destroy the potential of crowdfunding. We conclude with three suggested improvements we hope will be implemented in the final rules to make 4(a)(6) more attractive for high-quality startups. I. Strengths of the Current Rules • 1. Reliance on investor representations to calculate investment limits.1 Requiring a strict standard of verification – such as that required for 506(c) offerings – will dramatically inhibit capital formation.
