| dc.description.abstract | Crowdfunding (CF) online platforms play an important role in an era of digital transition, by enlarging the opportunities of entrepreneurs to collect funds from the crowd. The online platform operates efficiently connecting people that asks for funds with investors/donors looking for investment opportunities. In Portugal, the first CF platform arose in 2009, and new platforms have emerged after that. To get an overall picture of the present situation in Portugal, this communication aims to explore the specificities of the CF industry by adopting a comparative analysis of the platforms that operate in the market. To attain this objective several comparison criteria were used (e.g. business models, promoters, areas of activity, financial and operational data, fees) in order to highlight the differences and similarities between the platforms as well as the financial sustainability of the operating companies. The data for this study was collected through desk research by extracting financial information from two databases (Saabi and e-informa) and consulting the platforms and news about the CF companies. The investigation reveals that different platforms in Portugal explore either donation, reward-based or loan-based CF, some of which are under the scope of specific sectors of activity, and most of them use the all-or-nothing model. No equity-based CF platforms were found in Portugal. Despite the growth in the activity and the success of the campaigns carried out, Portuguese platforms still face some difficulties in achieving financial sustainability. | pt_PT |
