“…Our study is a response to calls for research on the financing of the migrant entrepreneur's venture process (Dabi c et al, 2020;Hoàng et al, 2020;Malki et al, 2020). Our paper contributes to the literature on migrant entrepreneurship by showing that, relying on the family social capital or what we term the "family network", migrant entrepreneurs launched a successful crowdfunding venture (Moghaddam et al, 2017). We also extent previous research on social capital by showing that the family network performed varied roles supporting the development of a financial approach feasible for the migrant entrepreneur, including supporting the migrant entrepreneur's venture before, throughout and after the crowdfunding campaign (Cheng, 2015;Zhang et al, 2017).…”

“…Migrant entrepreneurs have limited access to finance their ventures (Stephens, 2013) and face greater problems when attempting to access credit from financial institutions (Miller, 2011). Research by Moghaddam et al (2017) showed that migrant entrepreneurs tend to get finance from a single source (e.g. family, community or local banks) (Ram et al, 2003), while also avoiding equity financing.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to understand the role of the migrant entrepreneur’s social capital and specifically their family social capital in the success of their crowdfunding ventures. Design/methodology/approach This paper develops an exploratory single case study of the Persu Bag started by a Chinese migrant entrepreneur in the USA, which was documented through in-depth interviews, email communication, social media interactions and secondary documents publicly available. This paper draws on crowdfunding and social capital literature to fulfil the purpose and adopt the perspective of the migrant entrepreneur in the study. Findings The study shows that the crowdfunding migrant entrepreneur’s family network contributes with their operand and operant resources from both the country of residence and country of origin. Besides having financial capacity, institutional knowledge and experience from both the host and home countries, the family network in both countries make the crowdfunding immigrant entrepreneur’s families more resourceful, providing additional benefits to the crowdfunding migrant entrepreneurs in the development of the campaign and crowdfunded venture. Originality/value This study broadens the understanding of the ways migrant entrepreneurs can rely on their family social capital for building financial capacity and starting a crowdfunded venture.

This article analyses how highly skilled refugees experience barriers and enablers to entrepreneurship in the Netherlands. Using the welcoming talent model, the article claims that material and procedural norms as well as the governance of support for refugee entrepreneurship in the Netherlands needs a new design. Through socio-legal research on the experiences of highly skilled Syrian refugees, private support structures and municipalities with migration, integration and welfare policies and practices, we reveal that financial independence through entrepreneurship requires not just entrepreneurial skills but meeting the right people and not running into municipalities propagating work first. Policies and practices need to be developed in which welcoming entrepreneurial (highly skilled) refugees is key. Welcoming policies and practices are to offer refugees nationwide, equally accessible, transparent support structures, and access to finance instead of barriers towards financial independence.
