Abstract
Businesses, especially innovative businesses, are among the most important factors influencing the economic growth of any country. Crowdfunding is one of the new methods for financing projects and businesses. A prerequisite for the effectiveness of this important factor is the creation of ways through which capital can be made available for innovative ideas. The purpose of this research is to identify aspects affecting the behavior of crowdfunding stakeholders, challenges and consequences, advantages and disadvantages, factors affecting the success of crowdfunding, factors affecting the evaluation of project performance, and to create a framework for individuals' decision-making in implementing projects.
In this study, using the snowball sampling method, through interviews with experts and opinion leaders, using the data-based theory research method and analyzing the data obtained from the interviews, various components of crowdfunding were examined, taking into account the risk factor and its management, and the concepts, categories, and dimensions of the categories were extracted. Finally, the aforementioned categories were classified into causal conditions, strategies, intervening conditions, context conditions, and finally consequences. The resulting model was validated by presenting it to experts in the field.
