Project description

Exploration based on interview data regarding the role of heuristics in funder and entrepreneur decision-making. Developed frameworks of ecologically rational heuristics for funders and entrepreneurs in equity and rewards crowdfunding as theoretical contributions. Furthermore, for entrepreneurs, the heuristics identified offer practical decision-making guides for managing a crowdfunding campaign successfully through pre, live and post-phases.
