serial entrepreneur

Business starter, again

A serial entrepreneur is someone who repeatedly starts new businesses rather than building one company long-term.

The term usually carries positive connotations of creativity and ambition, though it can suggest restlessness or inability to commit: He's a serial entrepreneur—sold three startups before turning forty.

Compare with the less flattering *serial* compounds like serial killer or serial cheater.
