Abstract

The majority of published work refers to the pre-investment phase of the crowdfunding process, with only very little academic knowledge currently relating to the post-investment phase.

From a crowdfunder's point of view, the crowdfunding process consists of two phases: pre-investment and post-investment.

Academic knowledge relating to a crowdfunder's pre-investment phase refers mainly to the funder's motivations to pledge, their due diligence, and their decision to back certain projects but not others.

The very limited knowledge relating to the crowdfunder's post-investment phase points toward the potential for crowdfunders to provide added value to fund-seekers in addition to their financial pledge.
