Abstract / Keywords

To the point

  • Microaggressions, subtle yet pervasive forms of discrimination, undermine migrant entrepreneurs by adversely affecting their psychological well-being and hindering their business development.
  • Through a qualitative multiple-case approach, we show how microaggressions—such as avoidance and pathologisation—impact the business success of migrant entrepreneurs in Germany.
  • Our study highlights the compounded challenges of intersecting marginalised identities, urging targeted interventions for inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystems.
  • We call for diverse research and strategies to mitigate microaggressions, urging action by policymakers and practitioners to foster an equitable entrepreneurial landscape.
