Abstract: This study investigates the impact of equity crowdfunding on the survival rates of sustainability ventures. Utilizing data from UK-based companies that have successfully issued equity via crowdfunding platforms, the analysis differentiates the outcomes for environmentally sustainable ventures compared to others. The findings suggest that equity crowdfunding appears to confer long-term benefits on these companies, as evidenced by their lower failure rates. The advantage is more pronounced for companies operating outside the technology sector.
