Business models for digital innovation intermediaries: evidence from the digital innovation hubs initiative presents the following source proposition: Yet we still have a limited understanding of how different types of organizations enact this role and which business models they adopt. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Because traditional VCs need to defend their investment choices to their own investors, they are often reluctant to invest in digital asset startups that have little history or sales records. 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.

• The response is limited to the retrieved source proposition and mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
• External evidence level: abstract indexed.
• Mapping review tier: moderate-confidence claim review.
• Primary mapping confidence: 0.3938.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
