CROWDFUNDING SYSTEMS: evaluation and government regulation in the conditions of reengineering

At first glance, the trend of public awareness of crowdfunding is positive, but it is worth considering that respondents were surveyed using Internet technologies. In other words, the survey results do not take into account respondents who do not use the Internet or are weak users. Also, the Internet survey narrows the range of groups surveyed. According to the results of the survey, there is a low level of awareness of the society in Ukraine regarding the types of crowdfunding, such as charitable crowdfunding, crowdfunding based on non-financial remuneration, crowdfunding based on royalties, crowdlending, and crowdinvesting (Fig 2.13).
