Abstract
Crowdlending platforms have gained importance in recent years due to digitalization. The Covid-19 pandemic has severely impacted the entire economy, including repercussions on digital transactions. Investors considering transactions on these platforms require confidence in both the platform and the project in order to make the right decision. For this reason, this study analyzes the links between the parties involved in the process. A survey was sent to 135 investors on the Colectual platform in January 2022, and the research method adopted is Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA). The study examines the connections between the platform, the investors, and the project developers, to assess the influence exerted by the platform on the confidence of the parties seeking and providing investment. The main result is that Covid-19 has been a key factor in the confidence of investors in the platform, and it has had a significant influence on the investments made.
