Are you part of the crowd? The role of sex and environmental characteristics for crowdfunding awareness

Egle Vaznyte et al.

Summary: Crowdfunding has emerged as an alternative financing option for startups and social projects. However, the reasons behind individuals becoming backers and others not participating are not fully understood. Drawing on information processing theory, this study investigates the role of crowdfunding awareness as a precursor to becoming a backer. Our findings, based on a sample of 1,042 individuals from Flanders, Belgium, indicate that crowdfunding awareness is influenced by gender and the perceived socioeconomic environment. Moreover, women are more likely than men to derive crowdfunding awareness from environmental characteristics. These findings carry important implications for both theory and practice.
