Abstract
We present a stylized model of three entrepreneurial financing methods based on two tradeoffs. First, token financing and crowdfunding reveal consumer-investors’ demand for the product prior to investment, but upfront purchase weakens the entrepreneur’s incentive to deliver. Second, token financing permits a bubble component in token value, but reduces consumer surplus.
