The article is generally reliable as it cites relevant research studies from reputable sources such as Johnson et al., Amit & Zott, Wirtz et al., Zott et al., Massa & Tucci, Cavalcante et al., Trimi & Berbegal-Mirabent, Ries, Blank & Dorf, Osterwalder & Pigneur, Gibson & Jetter and Bertels et al. This indicates that the author has done their due diligence in researching the topic before writing this article.
However, there are some potential biases in the article that should be noted. For example, while the author acknowledges that there is not a generally accepted definition even for the concept of the business model itself (Zott et al.), they do not explore any alternative definitions or perspectives on this concept which could have provided additional insight into this topic. Additionally, while the author does mention some potential challenges faced by startups such as lack of knowledge about challenges in areas such as law or finance or trouble attracting sufficient financial and human capital (Cavalcante et al.), they do not explore any potential solutions or strategies for overcoming these challenges which could have been useful information for readers of this article.
In conclusion, overall this article is reliable as it cites relevant research studies from reputable sources; however there are some potential biases that should be noted such as lack of exploration of alternative definitions or perspectives on business models and lack of exploration of potential solutions or strategies for overcoming startup challenges mentioned in the article.
