AI Summary

A University of Portsmouth study published in the British Journal of Management surveyed 4,500 members of the U.K. public about factors influencing equity‑crowdfunding decisions. The findings indicate that potential investors prioritize the type of business being pitched rather than the gender of the entrepreneur presenting it. The research highlights that what is being sold matters more to backers than whether the presenter is a man or a woman.
