SPNDL empowers entrepreneurs – Mirjam Burger tells us how

One of the first people I met when arriving in the Netherlands was Mirjam Burger. She was working together with Seats2meet and with all her charisma showed me how you can make the max of the S2M experience with mastery. Today she is part of SPNDL, a collaboration between innovative companies, including Seats2meet, to help other corporates connecting and working with visionary entrepreneurs.

Hi Mirjam, you already worked with Seats2meet and now you are all over the place! Can you give us your secret on how to make the max out of an S2M experience?

It is a very comforting thought to have access to an ecosystem like Seats2meet and to be actually part of it. In 2016 and 2017 I was involved in the international rollout of Seats2meet and then the national business development.

Because of that, I was asked by Ingrid van Rossum of Fuenta for a role in a great innovative project with wholesaler Makro Nederland. Now I am an associate at Fuenta. Basically, this great flow I have been in started at Seats2meet in 2016, which I am still grateful for!

At Fuenta we create and execute innovative business concepts with a collective of entrepreneurs. With each new business concept, we need to have a new team of people with specific skills. Sometimes we’re working from a client’s site, sometimes we are meeting people and working in places like Seats2meet.

Having direct access to a big network of people but also spaces to work and meet are crucial at that point. I also love being able to ask questions online within the network and to get matched to other people. Sometimes I use the S2M Magazine as well to share knowledge or announce something.

Come to think of it, I do make the max out of an S2M experience!
