What is a Retirepreneur®?

It’s more than a name—it’s a mindset. It’s a movement. And it might just be who you are becoming.

Retirepreneur (noun)

re·tire·pre·neur 

A purpose-driven retiree who reinvents life after 55 by launching a business, pursuing remote work, or building something meaningful with their time, skills, and experience.

The Mission Behind the Word

 Most people think retirement means winding down. We believe it’s the perfect time to build something new.

A Retirepreneur doesn’t retire from life—they retire into purpose. Whether it’s a consulting business, online shop, teaching, writing, or mentoring—Retirepreneurs are creators, builders, and contributors. They’re not finished. They’re just getting started.

This platform exists to serve them—with tools, stories, guidance, and a community built around one belief:

You’re not done yet.

Meet the Founder — And the First Retirepreneur

 I'm Curt Roese, and I'm a Retirepreneur, too.

At 60, I retired from a 40-year career in business and finance. At 61, I enrolled in the Master’s in Entrepreneurship program at the University of Florida. And by 62, I launched Retirepreneur.com—a platform for others like me who aren’t done dreaming, building, or making a difference.

This isn’t just a business to me—it’s my second act. A way to blend freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment into a life that still has plenty of chapters to write.

If you're curious about what’s next—or ready to build something that’s fully yours—I hope you’ll join me.
