Abstract

This qualitative literature review explores the dynamic interplay between entrepreneurial signaling and investor perception in crowdfunding. It examines how various types of signals—such as team credibility, product quality, campaign narratives, and social proof—are interpreted by investors to mitigate information asymmetry. Drawing from recent empirical studies and theoretical advancements, this review highlights that investor decision-making is shaped by both rational evaluation and heuristic processing. Moreover, the study emphasizes the contextual influence of platform design, cultural norms, and emotional cues in shaping investment outcomes. By synthesizing diverse research findings, this paper offers a comprehensive understanding of how signaling strategies influence trust, legitimacy, and funding success in digital entrepreneurial finance. The review contributes to signaling theory and crowdfunding literature by clarifying the psychological and contextual mechanisms that bridge the knowledge gap between entrepreneurs and investors

Abstract

This qualitative literature review explores the transformative role of FinTech credit, particularly digital lending platforms, in fostering entrepreneurial growth by addressing information asymmetry. Drawing on recent empirical and conceptual studies, the review identifies how alternative data, algorithmic credit scoring, and AI-driven risk assessments enable more inclusive and efficient credit access for underserved entrepreneurs. It highlights the potential of FinTech to reduce traditional financing barriers, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with limited collateral or credit histories. However, the review also underscores risks such as algorithmic bias, data privacy concerns, and regulatory gaps. By synthesizing findings across global contexts, this study provides a nuanced understanding of how digital lending shapes entrepreneurial ecosystems. The review concludes with implications for policy, practice, and future research
