Abstract
Reward-Based Crowdfunding (RBC) is gaining importance as a pivotal avenue for early-stage entrepreneurs to secure external funding. It has experienced significant growth, fostering inclusivity and increased participation by women. This expansion highlights concerns regarding regulatory frameworks, which are notably underregulated when compared to traditional financing methods. This study explores the information quality on the RBC platform, where enforcement mechanisms are costly and distant. The analysis of campaign information underscores challenges in ensuring transparency and accountability, emphasizing the growing significance of regulatory interventions to uphold RBC platform integrity, especially in promoting gender-inclusive entrepreneurship across various RBC platforms.
