초록

스타트업들이 초기에 투자자와 일반 대중들로부터 자금조달을 받기 위해 와디즈와 같은 크라우드펀딩 플랫폼을 이용하고 있으며, 그 플랫폼에서는 댓글수, 관심도, 그리고 온라인구전과 같은 참여자활동성을 높이는 기능들이 포함되어 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 참여자활동성 기능들이 크라우드펀딩의 성공여부와 투자금액 달성률에 어떻게 매개효과를 발휘하는지를 규명하고자 한다. 이를 위해 기존 선행연구와 투자전문가 및 플랫폼 운영자의 인터뷰를 통해 개별 독립변수인 진행기간, 목표금액, 벤처기업, 투자유치경험, 지식재산권보유, 대표경력, 그리고 수상유무를 세 가지 관점인 프로젝트 특성, 기업 특성, 그리고 대표자 특성으로 구분하였다. 세 관점의 독립요인과 매개요인인 참여자활동성, 그리고 크라우드펀딩 성과를 종속변수로 한 구조방정식 모형으로 실증적인 검증을 하였다. 세 가지의 관점의 특성들이 참여자활동성에 어떻게 영향을 주는지, 참여자활동성이 크라우드펀딩 성과에 어떻게 매개효과를 미쳤는지를 분석한다. 또한, 업종(인터넷서비스, 문화/예술, 제조/유통 등)과 투자유형(주식형과 채권형)에 따라 위의 분석결과가 어떻게 다른지를 도출한다. 이를 통하여 투자형 크라우드펀딩 성과에 미치는 요인을 도출하고, 참여자 활동성을 향상시키는 방안을 마련하는데 도움이 되고자 한다.

Start-ups often use crowdfunding platforms such as Wadiz to get financing from corporate investors and general public. These platforms include functions to increase participant activity through the number of comments, interest and online word-of-mouth. This study aims to elucidate how these functions related to a participant activity exhibit mediating effects on a success of crowdfunding and an achievement rate of targeted investment amount. To this end, the individual variables such as progress period, target amount, venture company, experience of attracting investment, possession of intellectual property rights, a career of the representative and an award experience of the representative were classified into the project characteristics, the company characteristics and the representative characteristics through not only previous studies but also interviews with investment professionals and platform operators. Afterwards, this study went through an empirical verification process using a structural equation model that has both crowdfunding performance and participant activity, which is the independent and mediating factors of three perspectives, as well as the dependent variables. In other words, this study analyzes how the characteristics of three perspectives affect the participant activity and how the participant activity had the mediating effects on the crowdfunding performance. In addition, it derives how the analysis results mentioned above vary according to business types (internet services, culture/art, manufacturing/distribution) and investment styles (stock type and bond type). It is expected that this study will help not only in deriving the factors affecting the performance of an investment type crowdfunding but also in preparing the measures to increase a participant activity.
