The statistical analysis used partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe results of this research revealed a significant influence of trust and e-WOM on participation in CF for equity CF. Extrinsic motivation had the greatest impact on trust and VC had the greatest impact on e-WOM.Originality/valueThis research extends the equity CF research area to CF success and considers the effects of some parameters on CF participation.
