ABSTRACTIt is advised that entrepreneurs should keep the language of venture descriptions short and simple. However, knowledge about the conditions under which language in crowdfunding communications impacts investment behavior is limited. We propose that the use of sophisticated language in crowdfunding venture descriptions creates perceptions of venture distinctiveness that, in turn, increase the amount invested. We test this proposed mechanism across a controlled experiment and present evidence from 886 crowdfunding campaigns that increasing the linguistic sophistication of campaign descriptions can result in a 20% increase in the amount raised by a campaign and greater campaign success. Furthermore, we show that the impact of lexical sophistication on the amount raised is moderated by investor experience whereby experienced investors invest more in ventures with sophisticated language compared to inexperienced investors. Our work contributes to research on communication in crowdfunding by highlighting the significance of lexical sophistication in influencing funding behaviour.KEYWORDS: Crowdfundingdigital communicationentrepreneurshiplexical sophistication Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. https://www.smallbizgenius.net/by-the-numbers/crowdfunding-stats/#gref2.

ABSTRACTAmid a growing interest in venture capital research, little attention has been given to exploring the influence of digital empowerment on this domain. Particularly in the midst of heightened uncertainty factors contributing to global financial fragility and instances of capital retreat, these matters demand comprehensive examination. Drawing on resource-based theory and information asymmetry theory, this study collected extensive data from 1,985 Chinese manufacturing listed enterprises in the Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) from 2016 to 2020. Leveraging the hierarchical regression technique, the research delved into the intricate relationship between digital empowerment and enterprise venture capital, while also considering the mediating role of innovation input and the moderating effect of government subsidies. The findings demonstrate that digital empowerment and innovation input yield a significantly positive impact on venture capital. Moreover, innovation input partially mediates the connection between digital empowerment and venture capital. Furthermore, government subsidies positively moderate the relationship between digital empowerment and innovation input. These research conclusions not only contribute to the advancement of venture capital theory but also furnish a theoretical foundation for enterprises seeking to secure additional venture capital and for governments to promote innovation and entrepreneurship strategies.KEYWORDS: Digital empowermentinnovation inputgovernment subsidiesventure capital Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. http://www.sasac.gov.cn/n2588025/n2588134/c23572178/content.html.Additional informationFundingThe Late Funded Project of National Social Science Foundation of China [22FGLB026]; The Key research of Philosophy and Social Sciences of the 14th Five-year Plan of Sichuan University (SCJJ-12).
