This is 13.3 percentage points more than in 2015. One in eleven respondents has already invested financially in such a project. Participants most frequently invest in traditional &quot;reward-based&quot; crowdfunding.<\/p>\n<h3>Crowdfunding is most popular among men, younger people, highest earners and high school graduates<\/h3>\n<p>In a gender comparison, this relatively new form of financing is significantly more familiar among men: 75.1% of male respondents have at least heard of it. Among women, this figure is only 55.6%. The gender gap is even more marked when it comes to their own participation in crowdfunding projects: 12.1% of men and only 6.1% of female study participants have already invested money in this way.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11466\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_11466\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/cms.munich-startup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Crowdfunding_Barometer_2016_Infografik.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11466\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11466\" src=\"https:\/\/cms.munich-startup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Crowdfunding_Barometer_2016_Infografik-220x220.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 crowdfunding.de\" width=\"335\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms.munich-startup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Crowdfunding_Barometer_2016_Infografik-220x220.jpg 220w, https:\/\/cms.munich-startup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Crowdfunding_Barometer_2016_Infografik-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cms.munich-startup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Crowdfunding_Barometer_2016_Infografik-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cms.munich-startup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Crowdfunding_Barometer_2016_Infografik-440x440.jpg 440w, https:\/\/cms.munich-startup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Crowdfunding_Barometer_2016_Infografik.jpg 767w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 335px) 100vw, 335px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_11466\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The results at a glance (Graphic: \u00a9 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crowdfunding.de\" target=\"_blank\">crowdfunding.de<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Awareness decreases with the age of the respondents: 86.3% of those under 30 are familiar with the term crowdfunding, and 20.2% have already participated.
