Dirk van Meer is co-founder of Core Changemakers. 5 years ago Dirk got together with 3 friends with the idea of creating a student team that focuses on a sustainable economy.
Fast forward to today and there are 160 students who have joined and they are working on innovative projects like reducing battery fires and recycling solar panels!
In this conversation we talk about:
- the importance of creating a supportive and inclusive environment for like-minded individuals to connect, collaborate, and learn from one another.
- the challenge of choosing between pursuing financially lucrative opportunities and staying true to the mission and values of a community
- how certain traits associated with autism can be leveraged as strengths in entrepreneurship
overcoming challenges, showcasing the resilience and determination required to build and sustain a successful startup ecosystem
