This study examines the individual funding decisions arising from the heterogeneity in the tie strength and&nbsp;embeddedness&nbsp;of the dyadic relationships between social media friends and rookie project initiators (PIs). Using integrated crowdfunding-social media data, we find that friends&#8217; funding likelihood increases with a stronger tie or greater&nbsp;embeddedness, whereas friends&#8217; funding amount only increases with greater embeddedness. We further find early evidence that the effect of tie strength on the friend&#8217;s funding decision is sensitive to the evaluation of project success potential, whereas that of embeddedness is less so. Moreover, embeddedness, but not tie strength, contributes to the project&#8217;s funding success. The findings run counter to the prevailing view of strong ties in crowdfunding while shedding new light on the persistently supportive role of embedded ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The paper is available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0167923623000064\">https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0167923623000064<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paper with Yongsuk Kim &#8220;Crowdfunding From Friends: Tie Strength and Embeddedness&#8220; has been accepted at the Decision Support Systems.
