Abstract: Abstract Ethnic migrant entrepreneurship, as a subset of international entrepreneurship offers an illustration of how entrepreneurs from different ethnic and national backgrounds operate in an international setting. This chapter examines nascent entrepreneurship for migrants, through a process-based view of entrepreneurship. The role of sociocultural fit is yet to be fully explained and the views on entrepreneurial opportunities for migrants are largely divergent. In this chapter, sociocultural fit is represented by cultural distance and the chapter examines nascent entrepreneurship for migrants, through a process-based view of chapter explores how internal enablers, such as EMEs’ resources from the host country can influence their decision to become entrepreneurs. Moreover a framework is presented that integrates sociocultural fit in migrant nascent entrepreneurship in technology-based sectors.
