Abstract
Although the crowdfunding (CF) sector is booming, research focusing on motivation of contributors is mainly exploratory and does not propose an analytical model. This chapter aims to propose a typology of differentiated motivations according to the type of CF. The main results, authentic compared to the existing literature, show that types of motivation are not the same depending on the type of CF considered. These findings provide significant practical guidelines for three major actors of a CF process: CF platforms must communicate according to the segmentation resulting from the respective predominant motivations. Project leaders should go beyond the simple utility and inform contributors according to the life of the project and its segmentation and the required technical tools of contribution. Contributors share personal ties and observe how the projects succeed regarding loan with interest; therefore, certain motivations, found in this research, such as pleasure of contributing, living experiences, and supporting creators should not be put forward in all the CF campaigns.
