**Affirmed position.** ICOs conceptual unveiled: scholarly review of an entrepreneurial finance innovation presents the following source proposition: By examining the intersection of legal frameworks, disruptive potential, and stakeholder challenges, this interdisciplinary perspective captures the essence of ICOs and charts a course for future inquiry. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The authors concede that the trend for venture-capital-financed technology companies to stay private and the market undervaluation of formerly venture-capital-financed companies mean the innovation potential identified by venture capital finance allocation may not always be shared by the market at large. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
