Successful crowdfunding campaigns are multifaceted in nature and depend on marketing and organizationalfeatures. This study identifies the most appealing factors and analyzes the results through a multi-theory ap-proach as follows.

Second,fixed campaigns, small-sized projects, and prolonged campaignsare more likely to be funded, in line with goal-setting theory. Additionally, the resource-based view offirmsclarifies the importance of having large entrepreneurial teams. Further, narrative theories about persuasion andinformation processing provide insights into why detailed text descriptions are more persuasive than pitch vi-deos. Finally, this study relies on social identity and signaling theories to illustrate the impressive role of socialnetworks and discussion forums between fundraisers and backers for developing effective word-of-mouth. Thispaper also provides fundraisers with recommendations to building appealing campaign
