Organic Finance Framework: Aligning Financing Complexity with Organisational Complexity (for Innovative Companies)

P. Pöltner and T. Grechenig

Abstract—The organic finance framework is a new tool for managing the challenges of corporate financing. This framework is especially useful for small and medium-sized enterprises in the time of a crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. At its core, the framework forces a rethink of the manner in which companies initiate their financing approach. In contrast to finding potential external sources of finance, the organic finance framework starts by looking at the relevant stakeholders of the company. Alternative financing methods, such as crowdfunding and crowdinvesting, have demonstrated that companies can work with potential future customers at an early stage in the company lifecycle to finance the development of an offering. Thus, the organic finance framework presents a global structural visualisation of the corporate financing domain that can help business owners to better align the lifecycle of a company with its funding sources.

Index Terms—Alternative financing, corporate financing, crowdfunding, start-ups.
