A serial entrepreneur starts several businesses one after another rather than beginning one venture and staying focused on it for many years like a more typical entrepreneur. Serial entrepreneurs may sell their businesses after they reach a certain level of maturity.

What is considered a serial entrepreneur?

A serial entrepreneur is someone who is exceptionally creative in bringing up new business ideas and works hard on those ideas to set up a new venture.

There are several high profile examples of serial entrepreneurs; take for example Steve Jobs (Apple, NeXT, Pixar, Apple) or Elon Musk (Zip2, PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla, SolarCity).
