“…This is regularly done by absorbing technology (ie, IT) into the business model of a new venture (eg, as a resource or a product) (Chesbrough & Rosenbloom, ; Fiet & Patel, ; George & Bock, ). Many recent business models pursued by entrepreneurs are, in their entirety, only possible through the enabling function of IT (Rai & Tang, ); for others, IT offers avenues for financing (Belleflamme, Lambert, & Schwienbacher, ; Gleasure, ; Mollick, ; Preston, ).…”

More than 50 years ago, information technology (IT) began to change society, the economy, and industries worldwide. This change has included waves of technological disruption that have been exploited by entrepreneurial actors who seize the associated new opportunities. Research on related phenomena is spread across different disciplines. Recently, there have been calls for further research on the marriage of information systems (IS) and entrepreneurship. We review 292 articles in the IS, entrepreneurship, and general and strategic management literature to create an overview of the IT-associated entrepreneurship research landscape. On the basis of that review, we elaborate on the different roles that IT can assume to support entrepreneurial operations and value creation in these settings. Our findings suggest that IT plays four major roles in entrepreneurial operations: as a facilitator, making the operations of start-ups easier; as a mediator for new ventures' operations; as an outcome of entrepreneurial operations; and as a ubiquity, becoming the business model itself. Leveraging these roles of IT, we develop a set of definitions to clear up definition uncertainties surrounding IT-associated new ventures such as digital start-ups and digital business models.We also outline a research agenda for IT-associated entrepreneurship research based on identified roles, types, and gaps.

The purpose of this paper is to deal with crowdfunding approaches' strength to in°uence the society, in particular, reforming the funding power structure in the society, to restructure the society wealth distribution, and to increase the°ow of opportunities in the nation. The approaches that can do that include local crowdfunding from within businesses, crowd funds' entities that are combined with unbiased management, and those combined with unbiased bank's support. Local crowdfunding from within businesses is indeed a unique tool for¯nancial stability at the neighborhood level, yet also in the nation's level upon generalizations, where these can shift socio-economic-power to the citizens. In generalizing crowd funds' entities, these are of value to¯ght biases in case combined with unbiased management; \unbiased crowdfunding" might prove simpler to create and maintain than the alternatives. Some of the example of works that we performed with local businesses are presented in this paper.

“…Impression management is a conscious and subconscious process in which individuals present themselves and try to influence the perceptions of other people by regulating and controlling information in social interaction (Parhankangas and Ehrlich, 2014;Gleasure, 2015). Impression management tactics seem to be particularly relevant in situations in which entrepreneurs try to convince a powerful audience, as is the case on crowdfunding platforms.…”
