Serial Entrepreneur
Someone who starts multiple companies over their career, one after another, applying lessons from earlier ventures to later ones.
Why it matters
Serial founders carry hard-won experience and often a network and credibility that make the next company easier to fund and build. For first-timers, it is a reminder that founding is a skill that compounds with practice.
For example
A founder on her third startup raises faster because investors trust the scars and network she earned building the first two.
