群眾募資網站為新型態的電子商務,美國約自2008年、2009年開始展露,台灣則約於2012年、2013年起步。群眾募資網站的發展需有對應的法令配套,目前各國的法令進程不一,國內因受限於現行法規,無法如歐美先進國家般允許各類型群眾募資網站的發展,初期僅允許發展回饋型群眾募資網站,且因起步時間仍短,多數網站在營運上仍難達損益兩平,並有數個網站已停止營運。 本研究擬對國內群眾募資網站的商業模式進行探討,選定國內較早成立的四家回饋型群眾募資網站為研究個案,對其創辦人或主要管理者進行訪問,並選擇Osterwalder所提出的商業模式圖(Business Model Canvas)模型進行分析,探討國內群眾募資網站之營運模式,有利於國內群眾募資網站之營運,實現損益兩平。 研究結果發現國內之群眾募資網站若能有效權衡關鍵夥伴、客群、資源等因素,調整其價值主張,必可達有效吸引及服務夥伴。此外,再加上強化公關資源與實體宣傳,將可從募資之外的延伸性服務獲得新營收機會。
