Abstract in English:
Crowdfunding is a process where organizations or individuals seek to secure project funding by soliciting pledges from potential donors, usually via an internet platform. Crowdfunding is employed in many different categories, ranging from technology to arts. As a reward the pledgees receive, upon project success, a compensation respectively to their amount pledged, i.e., the product. This paper investigates the impact of theoretical constructs derived from product preannouncement literature on the success of crowdfunding campaigns by conducting a logistic regression. For empirical analysis, technology as a category was selected, yielding a subsample size of 1,042 out of 45,400 collected observations.
