This study develops a typology of highly educated Mexican immigrant entrepreneurs living in the United States (U.S.) based on their personal resources, motivations and social capital, and the U.S. institutional challenges they face. An exploratory qualitative analysis was conducted by examining 25 in-depth interviews with Mexican immigrant entrepreneurs and opinion leaders in the United States. The results show that highly educated Mexican migrant entrepreneurs have different resources, motivations, and premigration conditions and face different institutional challenges. These differences give rise to six types of immigrants: “self-made-preneurs,” “expat-preneurs,” “consolidated-preneurs,” “stubborn millennials,” “runaway-preneurs” and “avoider-preneurs.” Previous studies have proposed a typology of high-skilled migrants or have compared their profile with that of other migrants. However, a typology of highly educated migrant entrepreneurs or any systematic study on the unique institutional challenges they face does not exist.

美国受过高等教育的墨西哥移民企业家类型学

本研究根据他们的个人资源、动机和社会资本，以及他们面临的美国体制挑战，对居住在美国 (US) 的受过高等教育的墨西哥移民企业家进行了分类。通过对在美国的墨西哥移民企业家和意见领袖进行的 25 次深度访谈进行了探索性定性分析。结果表明，受过高等教育的墨西哥移民企业家具有不同的资源、动机和移民前条件，并面临不同的制度挑战。这些差异产生了六种类型的移民：“白手起家的企业家”、“外籍企业家”、“联合企业家”、“顽固的千禧一代”、“离家出走的企业家”和“回避型企业家”。” 以前的研究提出了高技能移民的类型学，或者将他们的概况与其他移民的概况进行了比较。然而，受过高等教育的移民企业家的类型学或任何关于他们面临的独特制度挑战的系统研究并不存在。
