ABSTRACT
Based on the data included in Table 1, we are able to show that 34% of the respondents were start-ups, 41% were SMEs, 26.4% were potential service providers, 17.4% were potential portals, 38.2% were non-accredited investors, 13.9% were accredited investors, 0.7% were accredited institutional investors, 1.4% were investment dealers, and 2.8% were portfolio managers. We note that it is possible for overlap across these categories, as respondents may be both SMEs and non-accredited investors, for example. The potential overlap has no significant implication on our data analyses and interpretations.
