Authors: Koster, Scarlett; Isaak, Andrew
Abstract: Insufficient resources and support for female entrepreneurs create obstacles that hinder their chances of success, resulting in a noticeable underrepresentation of women in the economy. A key challenge entrepreneurs face is financing their ventures, for which equity crowdfunding presents an alternative with relatively low entry barriers. While early studies have shown that gender-related factors can influence crowdfunding success, little is known about the impact of female team members and all-female teams in venture financing via crowdfunding. This study explores this question through the lens of social role theory, using a quantitative regression analysis of equity crowdfunding projects. Overall, our results suggest a disadvantage for teams with more female entrepreneurs (both for teams with at least one female team member and all-female teams) regarding financing success via equity crowdfunding. However, the negative moderation effects of the target offering amount and previous work experience differ between the number of female team members and entirely female teams. We found a significant interaction between female team members and their campaign’s target offering, leading to lower amounts raised by mixed-gender campaigns than by all-male projects. A female founder’s work experience also influenced the success of female crowdfunding projects, as all-female campaigns received significantly less equity funding than all-male or mixed-gender teams. Further, our findings align with recent findings on the gender funding gap in equity crowdfunding. This study contributes research on equity crowdfunding by female entrepreneurs.</summary>

Authors: Wagener, Andreas
Abstract: The term “metaverse” describes the merging of the virtual and physical world. The underlying technical development leads to a change in market conditions and should enable new business models – also in the area of the festival economy. The text is dedicated to the opportunities and challenges that the metaverse opens up for the event and music industry, especially for the metal segment and respective festivals. The article approaches the topic conceptually, on the basis of an ethnographic analysis of use cases, whose transferability to this context is examined. It is shown that the staging of live music in the field of metal in virtual space is currently only possible with a loss of festival flair and entertainment quality, at least if conventional “physical” festival experiences are taken as yardstick. However, there is potential in the distribution of virtual goods and the utilisation of digital services as an extension of the value chain of concert events and festivals. All in all, a media-adequate staging and the appropriate use of relevant instruments of the virtual sphere are needed to be successful in this context.</summary>

Authors: Barth, Anne
Abstract: Backround: This study should examine whether music festivals in rural areas in Germany can be regarded as an economic factor in their own right. The aim was to be able to specify a specific euro value that remains in the region per festival visitor. Methods: 33 music festivals in Germany were selected based on defined criteria. These had to be in rural areas and offer an open-air program over several days. With the help of a questionnaire, municipalities, districts and festival organizers were questioned according to their assessment of payment flows related to the respective music festivals. Results: Due to insufficient feedback, no concrete euro value per festival visitor could be calculated. But it was clear that all three groups surveyed viewed the economic impact of the festivals on the region as positive. According to the respondents, 23.17 % of the regional revenue from the accommodation industry can be traced back to the festivals. For restaurants including catering it is 13.42 % and for the entire tertiary sector an added value from the festivals of 14.1 % can be stated. Conclusion: Music festivals in rural areas in Germany can be viewed as an independent economic factor on the basis of the present work. More in-depth investigations appear to be useful due to the sometimes low level of feedback.</summary>
