Between DIY artists and real estate investors: crowdfunding in Spain between 2015 and 2019

Keywords: Internet, sharing economies, cultural industries, prosumption

Abstract

The article addresses some of the characteristics of the Spanish crowdfunding sector by comparing primary research data from 2015 and 2019. The results show that crowdfunding has gradually left behind much of its collaborative culture to become a financial sector strongly influenced by real estate companies. This new dimension of the sector calls into question the positioning of crowdfunding as a collaborative phenomenon. The data used in the study was drawn from a research project that began in 2014, which is constantly updated.
