Design Objective

DO8 - Provision point mechanism

The provision point mechanism is a common practice in crowdlending platforms to address the free-rider problem, where investors wait and observe what others do before investing. Thus, our platform needs to include a parameter for minimum funding, which needs to be reached before funding is provided to a student (Agrawal et al. 2014).
