The development of platform economy has given birth to new formats, models, and services, promoting entrepreneurship in new formats. Using the fsQCA configuration analysis method and 39 survey cases, this study investigates how migrant workers stimulate new forms of entrepreneurship through starting entrepreneurial learning relying on platform, revealing the inherent regularity of the role of entrepreneurial learning in migrant workers’ new forms of entrepreneurship. Research has found that entrepreneurial platforms are the carrier for low educated migrant workers to rely on for light entrepreneurship, and relying on platforms to carry out entrepreneurial learning is the key to migrant workers achieving entrepreneurship. With the joint support of entrepreneurial platforms and personal connections, the high entrepreneurial learning ability of migrant workers can compensate for their insufficient education level and have a compensatory effect on the high funding pool. Platform entrepreneurs leverage their strong and weak connections with industry operators to obtain investment and financing information and knowledge, and improve their ability to pool entrepreneurial funds. Entrepreneurial activities require the joint support of multiple types of capital, and the results can break down the barriers between human capital and financial capital, which has guiding significance for platform entrepreneurship.
