The existing literature on migrant entrepreneurship predominantly portrays migrants as stigmatised individuals who view entrepreneurship as a pathway to remove their stigma and arrive at a safe spot. In this article, we argue that such characterisation overlooks the distinctive ways in which migrants establish supportive communities that both accept their stigmas and serve as a springboard for their legitimation. Based on the five case studies of migrant entrepreneurs in France, we explore how entrepreneurs manage their stigmas and construct their legitimacy by focusing on their supportive community. Our findings reveal two original processes in which entrepreneurs break their isolation, embrace their stigmas, and move forward to construct their legitimacy in the host country.
