Özet:

The increasing market size of crowdfunding highlights the necessity for new scientific studies in this field. Upon reviewing the existing literature, it is observed that the studies primarily focus on Turkey's past and current situation in crowdfunding, as well as proposing policy recommendations to improve the current state. Crowdfunding-supported project and product campaigns are believed to positively impact employment, attract capital and new investments to the country, thus supporting economic growth. However, this study identifies certain issues related to crowdfunding in Turkey. One key issue is that regulations for crowdfunding platforms are relatively new, and both campaign owners and investors participating in the campaigns on active platforms often lack sufficient information, leading to uncertainties during the crowdfunding process. As a result, to enhance the success rates of crowdfunding campaigns, the study suggests some recommendations. Firstly, it emphasizes the need to develop the necessary legal and technological infrastructure. Secondly, it highlights the importance of providing comprehensive information to funders about the campaigns they support. Lastly, the study proposes the necessity for entrepreneurs to receive adequate training to improve their understanding of crowdfunding processes and best practices. By implementing these suggestions, it is believed that the crowdfunding ecosystem in Turkey can be strengthened and fostered for greater efficiency and effectiveness.
