Crowdfunding - worldwide and Polish experiences

Krystyna Mitręga-Niestrój

Abstract


The aim of the article is firstly, to present the basic issues related to crowdfunding, and, secondly, to analyze the activities of the crowdfunding market in Poland and in the world. The main assumption of crowdfunding is the fact that community members combine their financial resources through a  cooperation network in order to support all kinds of projects initiated by individuals and organizations. Financing by crowdfunding is dynamically developing world-wide, this phenomenon is also present in Poland. Crowdfunding platforms functioning in this country are the subject of growing interest of internet users and participate in an increasing number of projects. Regrettably, legal solutions in Poland have a  restrictive impact on the development of crowdfunding, which certainly requires open public debate.
