Crowdfunding: Tapping into the Wisdom (and Wealth) of Crowds

Gordon Burtch, Temple University

Anindya Ghose, New York University

Sunil Wattal, Temple University

February 2013

This report examines a new application of crowdsourcing focused on the generation of funding for ideas initiated by others. While news articles and reports on crowdfunding have cited the success of numerous campaigns, the majority of efforts have actually failed. A better understanding of the design of campaigns and the management of the required platform can result in success. The report discusses opportunities, benefits, and pitfalls and demonstrates how the crowdfunding marketplace has the potential to be an innovation hub and improve open innovation practices. The report also provides suggestions on how businesses can leverage crowdfunding concepts, how to conduct a crowdfunding campaign, and how to influence contributor behavior.

In donation-based platforms, we have found that crowdfunders’ contribution behavior parallels that observed in charitable contexts
