“…Over five billion dollars was raised on crowdfunding platforms in 2013 – a 188 per cent growth rate over 2012 (Montini, ). While entrepreneurial funding by a loose collection of individuals is not new, recently developed on‐line crowdfunding platforms introduce an institutional setting that differs from that of traditional funding sources.…”

Research generally suggests that, relative to commercial entrepreneurs, social entrepreneurs stand at a disadvantage at acquiring resources through traditional financial institutions. Yet interest in social entrepreneurship appears to be at an all-time high. The current paper advances the argument that an innovative institutional form -crowdfundinghas emerged to address the needs of social entrepreneurs and other entrepreneurs with limited access to traditional sources of capital. To examine this, we study whether and how a sustainability orientation affects entrepreneurs' ability to acquire financial resources through crowdfunding and hypothesize that a venture's sustainability orientation will enhance its fundraising capability. We also suggest that project legitimacy and creativity mediate the relationship between a sustainability orientation and funding success. Our analysis produces two key findings: 1) a sustainability orientation positively affects funding success of crowdfunding projects, and 2) this relationship is partially mediated by project creativity and third party endorsements.

Business-related entities' competency to manipulate existing resources and seize available opportunities is advantageous in ensuring the business's continued expansion, competitiveness, and sustainability. Small and medium-sized businesses often face financial constraints. Equity crowdfunding (ECF) has expanded Malaysian alternative financing. Since 2015, 77 issuers have obtained ECF financing. ECF digital platforms (PP) let fundraisers raise funds, and investors profit in the ECF ecosystem. This research focuses on the ECF ecosystem using the PP. The hypothesis claims that PP improves business performance. Financial metrics (Model 1) and customer performance (CP) (Model 2) track this performance. Because it depends on the past, financial performance evaluation cannot guarantee a firm's future sustainability. Thus, measuring performance based on current and future client performance may benefit the organization. This study used quantitative methods with 231 participants. 101 respondents, representing 77 issuers who raised ECF money, completed digital surveys. This work uses the Theory of Financial Bricolage as a foundation. This study evaluated the data using SPSS 20.0 and Smart-PLS 3.0. The results show that the PP significantly affects issuers' performance. The hypothesis claims that PP improves business performance.
