It is a kind of financial transaction (financing) without the action of commercial intermediaries over the internet.…”

“…There are several reasons new companies find it difficult just staying in business, with the ability to raise capital cited as the primary cause of failure, followed by bureaucracy and strong competition (Schwienbacher & Larralde, 2010;Wong, Bhatia, & Freeman, 2010;Kortum & Lerner, 2000;Sohl & Rosenberg, 2003;Magri, 2009).

“…In fact company's growth (and survival) is highly correlated with the ability to raise new funds, but only startups with a large potential market and remarkable KPIs (e.g. number of daily users, transactions) are attractive for investors (Wong, Bhatia, & Freeman, 2010;Schwienbacher & Larralde, 2010). Furthermore many other aspects impact on the fund rising capabilities: intellectual capital (Alberghini, Cricelli, & Grimaldi, 2013;Steenkamp & Kashyap, 2010;Tan, Plowman, & Hancock, 2008;Zerenler, Hasiloglu, & Sezgin, 2008), entrepreneur experiences (Lasch, Le Roy, & Yami, 2007;Song, Bijl van der, & Halman, 2008) and innovation (Groenewegen & de Langen, 2012;Maldonado, Dias, & Varvakis, 2009) are all key drivers as well as their promotion capabilities (Magri, 2009).…”

Startup businesses have always played an important role in the global economy, but recently their importance has grown significantly. For this reason, governments around the world have amended regulation and created incentives to encourage their development. However, statistics show that startups have an extremely high mortality rate, often due to a lack of strategic planning, wrong marketing investments or inefficient resource allocation. The purpose of this paper is to propose a decision-driven tool which will enable the creation of a successful promotional strategy. The proposed strategy is a three-stage process allowing startups to gradually eliminate non-optimal advertising formats. The first stage focuses on the analysis of the e-market where the startup operates. The second stage is dedicated to the economic environment that the new company will face relative to its available resources. Its aim is to reject overly expensive advertising formats by linking costs to availability of funds. The third and last stage is a cost effectiveness analysis, allowing the entrepreneur to identify the best advertising formats and using an impact-factor as a proxy of effectiveness. The proposed methodology has been applied to the case of an Italian early-stage startup for validation.

Although numerous studies have examined the crowdsourcing phenomenon, little consensus exists regarding the classification of distinct types of activities within crowdsourcing. In this study, we identify and classify 12 crowdsourcing initiatives that comprise the key categories of crowdsourcing: Crowdpedia, Fansourcing, Crowdnetworking, Crowdsharing, Crowdvoting, Crowdfunding, Ideation, Open Innovation, User Innovation, Scisourcing, Crowd‐Relief, and Open Source Software. Our main objective is to establish the similarities and differences between basic crowdsourcing initiatives and develop a typology based on nine crowdsourcing dimensions that we develop. This crowdsourcing typology will provide a roadmap on which researchers can anchor their research and practitioners can make more informed decisions about which category of crowdsourcing they should seek.
