Abstract

The most important factor in the development of today's economies is stable and strong economic growth. The sustainability of the investments that form the basis of economic growth is directly proportional to the easy accessibility of the financing that entrepreneurs need and its low cost. However, traditional financing methods are generally not sufficient to meet the financing needs of small and medium sized entrepreneurs (SMEs) as well as new entrepreneurs who want to start a business. The process of change experienced on a global scale with digitalization has affected many areas of life as well as the finance sector, leading to the emergence of new generation financing methods. Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, which have become widespread especially with cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, have contributed to the development of alternative financing methods by bringing investors and entrepreneurs together in digital environments. In this context, the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) method has become popular in recent years. In this study, alternative financing methods and ICO were examined in detail, and by comparing the advantageous / disadvantageous aspects of the methods, it was discussed whether entrepreneurs could contribute in the future to solve their financing problems.

Özet

Günümüz ekonomilerinin kalkınmasında en önemli etken istikrarlı ve güçlü ekonomik büyümedir. Ekonomik büyümenin temelini oluşturan yatırımların sürdürülebilmesi, girişimcilerin ihtiyaç duyduğu finansmana kolay erişilebilmesi ve düşük maliyetli olmasıyla doğru orantılıdır. Ancak gelenekselleşmiş finansman yöntemleri iş kurmak isteyen yeni girişimcilerin yanı sıra küçük ve orta ölçekli işletmelerin (KOBİ) finansman ihtiyacının karşılanmasında genellikle yeterli olamamaktadır. Dijitalleşmeyle birlikte küresel ölçekte yaşanan değişim süreci hayatın pek çok alanını etkilediği gibi finans sektörünü de etkileyerek yeni nesil finansman yöntemlerinin ortaya çıkmasına ön ayak olmuştur. Özellikle kripto paralar ve blockchain teknolojisiyle birlikte yaygınlaşan eşler arası (peer to peer- P2P) ağlar, yatırımcı ve girişimcileri dijital ortamlarda buluşturarak alternatif finansman yöntemlerinin gelişmesine katkı sunmuştur. Bu bağlamda son yıllarda popülerleşen Initial Coin Offering (ICO) yöntemi karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada alternatif finansman yöntemleri ve ICO etraflıca ele alınarak incelenmiş, yöntemlerin avantajlı/dezavantajlı yönleri karşılaştırılarak gelecekte girişimcilerin finansman sorunlarını çözecek nitelikte katkı sağlayıp sağlayamayacağı tartışılmıştır.
