Despite the growing popularity of investment-based crowdfunding, we know little about what platforms do before the campaign.

Finally, our econometric analysis shows that a higher number of post-campaign services offered by the platforms increase the annual number of successful campaigns. Services offered before and during campaigns do not attract more campaigns to the platforms.

Abstract

Despite the growing popularity of investment-based crowdfunding, we know little about what platforms do before the campaign. This is among the first studies to provide cross-platform evidence on investment-based crowdfunding. First, we describe the regulation and development over time of investment-based crowdfunding markets in France, Italy, Germany, and the UK. Second, using a sample of 127 platforms in these countries, we document which services are offered to proponents before, during, and after the campaigns. Finally, our econometric analysis shows that a higher number of post-campaign services offered by the platforms increase the annual number of successful campaigns. Services offered before and during campaigns do not attract more campaigns to the platforms.
