• Resumen

  • The article explores the global emergence of crowdfunding for start-ups and small and mid-sized entities (SMEs). It is described as the union of big data, cloud technologies, and social media with four platforms such as donation-based, rewards-based, and credit-based which help businesses to secure capital in a cost-effective manner and diversify risk and challenges. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also proposes to regulate crowdfunding on the JOB Act in October 2013.
