Abstract

Crowdfunding is a relatively young phenomenon. The aim of Crowdfunding is, to raise capital from a large amount of people (the crowd), in which each person makes a small contribution, to finance a project, an idea or a product on the Internet.

At the center of this work there should be the project initiators and with which factors they can influence the ongoing campaign positively, so that it is ultimately successful.
