Abstract

Crowdinvesting ist die jüngste Erweiterung des Möglichkeitsbereichs der Frühphasenfinanzierung: Entrepreneure präsentieren ihr Projekt einer großen Anzahl anonymer potentieller Investoren (der Crowd) mit Hilfe spezieller Internetplattformen, geben diesen eine konkrete Möglichkeit, in das Projekt zu investieren, und finanzieren dieses dann auf Basis einer großen Zahl kleinvolumiger Finanzierungsbeiträge. Dieser Übersichtsartikel grenzt Crowdinvesting zunächst vom -funding ab und beleuchtet die typischerweise beteiligten Akteure. Im Anschluss wird Crowdinvesting aus institutionenökonomischer Sicht analysiert und geschlussfolgert, dass die Potentiale dieser Innovation eine vertiefte Analyse mit Blick auf die (Frühphasen-)Finanzierung von Entrepreneuren/KMU nahelegen. / Crowdinvesting is the most recent extension of the scope of early stage financing: Entrepreneurs present a project to a large number of potential, yet anonymous investors via internet platforms, offering particular investment opportunities to the members of this crowd, and then finance the project based on their numerous small-scale contributions. This article gives a short overview of crowdinvesting, starting by distinguishing it from crowdfunding, and characterizing the actors involved. Thereafter, crowdinvesting is analysed from an institutional point of view, concluding that crowdinvesting represents a promising innovation for means of entrepreneurial/SME finance that definitely is worth further discussion and research.
