I want to look up also the plural of my words on Google Scholar.

Here is a part of my search: "entrepreneur OR entrepreneurs".

Is there a more efficient way, for example using regex-like "entrepreneurs?"?

What about woman/women?

If the alternative terms are part of a phrase, then you could use parentheses () and a vertical bar |, like "the (woman|women)".

The same applies to, for instance: "the (entrepreneur|entrepreneurs) told". I tested it and it works.

(EDIT: I originally wrote that the wildcard entrepreneur* should work, but my test was not so convincing. Thanks to lighthouse keeper's comment.)
