Thus, we find an in-built check and balance mechanism in the system. • Crowdfunding is an easy way for an emerging business to garner goodwill and brand loyalty without incurring a high cost. The risks that this model presents to all stakeholders are as follows: • There are some systemic risks which are inherent in the model: First, due to the “individual” nature of crowdfunding, there is a possibility that investors may not practice good diversification principles.
