Abstract

This study focuses on equity crowdfunding related research, which is becoming more important along with its rapid spread. By integrating studies on venture capital investment decisions, we propose a research model that conjoins VC investment decision criteria. We used the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method to develop two research models that identify the ways in which decision criteria are prioritised. Through these findings, this study offers timely insights into the development of equity crowdfunding. The results also demonstrate the need for integrative decision criteria for not only investors, but also investees, to determine the suitability of particular investments.
