Abstract: This study investigates whether equity crowdfunding is benefcial for ventures located in high unemployment regions. Employing data from 1172 initial oferings conducted in the UK market, the fndings of this study reveal that these ventures exhibit superior campaign outcomes. Their oferings are more likely to reach the target and get oversubscribed. They also enjoy a higher number of investors. Results also suggest that although equity crowdfunding decreases their likelihood of failure, these ventures are still more likely to fail.
