“…However, gender stereotypes should be more present in crowdfunding than in other financial markets. "When there is limited access to information, individuals are more prone to rely on underlying stereotypes (Tosi and Einbender, 1985), and crowdfunding markets undoubtedly represent this situation" (Battaglia et al, 2021). Yet, as Wesemann and Wincent (2021) recently stated, crowdfunding challenges many causes of gender discrimination.…”

“…Therefore, Cicchiello et al (2021, p. 930) suggested that equity crowdfunding campaigns should be based on gender equality on the firms' boards. Battaglia et al (2021) found that companies founded by women are more successful in receiving financial backing, involving more investors, and achieving their fundraising goals easier than their male counterparts. The female advantage is more substantial in countries where women are disadvantaged and far from equal opportunities.…”

“…Certain research point to activist homophily (Greenberg and Mollick, 2017), stating that female backers strongly support female-led projects over male-led ones (Battaglia et al, 2021). Hellman et al (2021) argue that assortative matching (where investors prefer to invest in their own gender) can explain some but not all of the female funding gap.…”

Organic production is on the upswing, owing to consumer preferences for safer products manufactured with environmentally friendly methods. It is frequently promoted to achieve economic development, poverty alleviation, and female empowerment. Crowdfunding is considered an ideal mechanism for mobilizing financial resources for people with limited access to traditional sources, such as women. This paper aims to analyze the gender gap in organic farming crowdfunding and estimate which characteristics foster the likelihood of crowdfunding success in organic production campaigns. We used a sample of crowdfunding campaigns from the Kickstarter platform and employed a binary logistic regression model to investigate the main research question. Our findings show that the crowd primarily supports gender-mixed teams. We also found that having more information about the campaign and project quality, a more realistic goal, and a shorter campaign duration increases the likelihood of succeeding. This paper contributes to the growing literature and policy initiatives to promote and develop gender equality in crowdfunding.

Gender homophily and local bias in equity crowdfunding

We investigate gender-specific local biases among investors in equity crowdfunding. Based on data from a major German crowdfunding platform, we find that domestic investors favour ventures that are geographically closer to their own place of residence. This bias is particularly evident among female investors, although it is partially offset by gender homophily, whereby female investors favour companies with women in the top management team. Finally, we show that the introduction of the German Small Investor Protection Act may have exacerbated local biases in the German crowdfunding market, particularly with respect to firms with female management. Overall, our results suggest that establishing their companies in close proximity to a large number of potential female crowd investors may help improve female entrepreneurs’ chances of attracting equity crowdfunding investment.
