<jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Purpose</jats:title>
<jats:p>This study aims to investigate how digital entrepreneurs develop platforms business models under an unregulated market and what approach they take to address informal economy (IE) activities.</jats:p>
</jats:sec>
<jats:sec>
<jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Design/methodology/approach</jats:title>
<jats:p>The author used a qualitative method by interviewing sixteen respondents, including founders, Chief Executive Officers, and managers of digital-driven start-ups in Indonesia. I then analysed the interviews into several codes and themes for further discussion.</jats:p>

<jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Findings</jats:title>
<jats:p>This study reveals distinctive approaches performed by startups within three-level institutions, namely, users, market and regulation. Each level represents digital entrepreneurs’ unique behaviour, which the author described as collective, narrative and compliant.</jats:p>

<jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Research limitations/implications</jats:title>
<jats:p>This paper demonstrates that digital entrepreneurs leveraging informal sectors contribute to the process of formalisation. However, the author emphasise less on how it impacts informality and who receives incentives.</jats:p>

<jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Practical implications</jats:title>
<jats:p>This study suggests appropriate strategies for entrepreneurs who build and develop a platform beyond immature setting and unveils different directions to comprehend their legitimacy building.</jats:p>

<jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Social implications</jats:title>
<jats:p>This study also elucidates political implications such as how the dynamics between regulators’ response and entrepreneurs’ reaction shape the new regulative environment. An idea of self-regulate – entrepreneurs as actors instead of a subject of regulation – might be suitable to reflect how they overcome the bottom of the pyramid using technology innovation.</jats:p>

<jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Originality/value</jats:title>
<jats:p>While previous studies focused primarily on sharing economy, this study provides a different array of discussion on the digitalisation of the informal economy in emerging markets.</jats:p>
