Introduction: In the context of the prolonged internal armed conflict in Colombia, victims face unique challenges when trying to start their own businesses. In addition to the usual barriers such as obtaining financing and resources, these individuals deal with stigmatization and deeply rooted hate speech in society, which hinder their reintegration and entrepreneurship after years of conflict and suffering. Methodology: The methodological approach combined in-depth interviews with 10 conflict victims, economic data analysis, and a literature review on entrepreneurship in post-conflict contexts. Participants were strategically selected to represent diverse experiences and geographical areas. Results: The interviews revealed specific barriers such as limited access to financing and resources, lack of business and technical training, and the negative impact of stigmatization and hate speech on their self-confidence as entrepreneurs. Discussions: The study emphasized the urgent need to address these limitations through policies and programs that provide access to financial resources, business training, and psychosocial support specifically oriented towards victims of the internal armed conflict. Conclusions: It is understood that countering hate speech and stigmatization is crucial to creating a more favorable environment for entrepreneurship in communities affected by the conflict.
