Abstract: This study examines the factors influencing the time to entrepreneurial success among youth migrants in Dar es Salaam, focusing on age, initial capital, and number of business partners. Using Negative Binomial regression to address over-dispersion, the results show that all variables significantly impact the time to success. Age correlates with longer success timelines, while initial capital and number of business partners facilitate quicker success. These findings highlight the importance of financial resources and collaboration in supporting migrant entrepreneurship.
