This chapter develops a typology of perceived risks in digital social innovations (DSIs) in Latin America and examines how they relate to stakeholder constellations and cross‑jurisdictional dynamics. Drawing on a unique dataset of 268 DSI applications from 19 Latin American countries to a civic‑technology fund, we apply a mixed‑methods approach of inductive coding and co‑occurrence analysis. We identify 16 risks where socially related ones —stakeholder support and stakeholder resistance — are most prevalent. Surprisingly, privacy and surveillance concerns are marginal. We argue that institutional heterogeneity and regulatory fragmentation amplify delivery and scaling risks for DSIs, and that region‑sensitive policy instruments can reduce critical barriers to scale. The chapter concludes with actionable implications for entrepreneurs, funders and policymakers.
