Abstract:
Crowdfunding has emerged as a vital alternative financing source for innovative and sustainable projects. However, stakeholders often find it challenging to apply insights from existing research effectively. This paper synthesizes the findings of a selection of studies from the literature employing Structural Topic Modeling. The analysis identifies three themes: crowdfunding as a catalyst for environmental sustainability, as a platform for socially conscious entrepreneurship, and as a means for co-developing innovation. By bridging the gap between academic research and practice, this research facilitates the utilization of crowdfunding to advance environmental sustainability, promote social entrepreneurship, and foster collaborative innovation.
