Abstract

The two main goals of this study are to derive independent factors affecting the success rate of crowdfunding and to empirically analyze the variation of independent factors' effects on the success of crowdfunding by industry (Internet, culture/art, manufacturing/distribution), and funding type (stock type, bond type). To identify the success factors of crowdfunding for invigoration and strategic utilization, first, several variables were refined after interviews with experts and platform operators with investment experiences in numerous crowdfunding projects. Then, independent factors affecting project involvement were categorized as follows: a characteristic of project, participant activity, and enterprise. Also, the results derived from the influence of independent variables on crowdfunding after moderating effects were driven. Selected independent factors in this study are as follows: crowdfunding period, target amount, visual contents, minimum account money, number of comments, number of SNS followers, level of interest, financial Statement disclosure, investment attraction, venture company, intellectual property rights disclosure, and business operation period. Selected moderating factors in this study are as follows: industry (Internet, culture/art, manufacturing/distribution), and funding type (stock type, bond type). In conclusion, a discussion of the academical and practical implications and a suggestion of directions for further research are explained.

본 연구는 크라우드펀딩 성공률에 영향을 미치는 독립요인을 도출하고, 독립요인이 크라우드 펀딩 성공에 미치는 영향을 업종별(인터넷서비스, 문화/예술, 제조/유통), 유형별(주식형, 채권형)로 각각 어떻게 다른지 실증적으로 분석하고자 한다. 크라우드펀딩 활성화 및 전략적 활용을 위한 성공요인을 규명하기 위해 다수의 크라우드펀딩 프로젝트에 투자경험이 있는 전문가 및 플랫폼 운영자의 인터뷰를 진행하였으며 여러 변수들 중 크라우드펀딩 성공률에 영향을 주는 독립요인으로 프로젝트 특성, 참여자의 활동 특성, 기업의 특성, 세 가지 범주가 결정되었다. 독립요인에 해당하는 진행기간, 목표금액, 시각적콘텐츠정보, 최소구좌금액, 댓글수, 온라인구전, 관심도, 재무상태표공개, 투자유치경험, 벤처기업, 지식재산권공개, 사업기간이 조절변수인 업종(인터넷서비스, 문화/예술, 제조/유통)과 유형(주식형, 채권형)에 따라 크라우드 펀딩 성공률에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 그 결과를 도출하였다. 또한, 본 연구의 학문적, 실무적 시사점을 논의하고 향후 연구방향을 제시하였다.
