2012年にローレン・ブッシュ氏が初来日し、バイヤー向け写真展が開催された。この写真展の内容とローレン・ブッシュ氏初来日の様子をミニフォトブックとして、より多くの人々へ伝えるためのプロジェクトがCAMPFIREに掲載された。

だが、残念ながらこのプロジェクトの資金調達は達成しなかった。このことから考えられることはなんだろうか。仮説だが、以下のような理由が挙げられるのではないだろうか。

In 2012, Lauren Bush visited in Japan for the first time and photo exhibition was held for buyers. CAMPFIRE listed the project to create mini-photo book about the photo exhibition and her first visit in Japan to tell more people about her work.

Unfortunately, the fund for this project did not reach to the target. What can we learn from this? It is only hypothesis, but followings can be considered as reasons behind.

Lauren Bush first came to Japan in 2012 to have a photo exhibition for buyers. CAMPFIRE ran an article about a project to pass on her activities to more people through a small Photo Book which includes the photographes of the exhibition and her first visit to Japan.

Unfortunately, the funding goal for this project was not accomplished.
What can we think of this result? We might list several possible reasons as follows:

・プラットフォーム全体のコンセプトと、プロジェクトのテーマが合わなかった
・有用なプロジェクトであるという共感が得られなかった
・インセンティブ設計がうまくいかなかった

達成した事例からなぜ達成したのかを学ぶことは重要だが、達成しなかったプロジェクトからなぜ達成できなかったことも重要だ。新たな資金調達のエコシステムであるクラウドファンディングは、まだまだ成長の余地が残されている。

• Concept of overall platform and theme of the project did not match.
• Little empathy about the project’s effectiveness
• Incentive design did not perform well
It is equally important to learn from unsuccessful project as to learn from successful project. Crowd-funding, a new finance eco-system, has more room for growth.

・The concept of whole platform did not fit to the theme fo the project.
・It did not appeal to many people as an important project.
・The incentive plan did not work.

It's important to learn from best practices why they could accomoplish them, but it's also imporatnt to know why we couldn't. Crowdfunding as a ecosystem of new way of funding has still some room to grow.
