Using both qualitative and quantitative approaches, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and questionnaires from a population of 26 part IV class of 2021-2022. Convenient sampling was used on the selected cohort within the Faculty of Communication and Information Science. Findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between the support from family as a factor that contributes to infopreneurial career intentions and that also capital is a much needed resource that aids new business ventures.
