Equity crowdfunding is a new and quickly growing form of raising funds. It has
developed dynamically in Poland in recent years. Despite its increasing popularity, however,
this fundraising method has yet to be sufficiently studied. The aim of this article is
to offer a general analysis of how equity crowdfunding is perceived and how its development
prospects are assessed by undergraduate studies at the SGH Warsaw School of Economics.
The article contains two hypotheses. The first one assumes that the higher the year
of study, the more knowledge students have about crowdfunding. The second hypothesis
assumes that the higher the year of study, the more likely the students are to increase their
interest in crowdfunding in the future and the higher the level of their declared financial
involvement. To validate these hypotheses, a questionnaire method using survey tools was
chosen. The German Crowdfunding Barometer was taken as a reference. Additionally, it
was decided to conduct in-depth interviews with selected students to learn in particular
about the impact of non-economic factors on investment decisions. This paper marks the
beginning of research on crowdfunding. An analysis of the obtained results reveals an
incomplete understanding of the concept of crowdinvesting. Therefore, educational activities
are recommended. |
