While Second-system effects seems to be describing software, the "human" version of it is apparently called Sophomore slump [1]:
A sophomore slump refers to an instance in which a second, or sophomore, effort fails to live up to the standards of the first effort. It is commonly used to refer to the apathy of students (second year of high school, college or university), the performance of athletes (second season of play), singers/bands (second album), television shows (second seasons) and films (sequels/prequels).
The second company of a previously successful entrepreneur seem to match that definition!

Which means it's probably going to die before it will be resurrected on a more sane foundation, some time in the future.
