Over a decade ago, Nicolette Mak (@NicoletteMak) started a company called ValidExpress, an postal express service run by employees with a difficult body. A series of companies centered around the same theme followed. This social serial entrepreneur, as she is often referred to, has plenty of ideas: “Putting my time and energy in things that do not make a difference has never been an option to me. Money does not drive me, people do. I love to tackle problems faced by society. How society treats disabled people is often deeply sad: thinking about the problem, not about the solution tends to cripple well-intended measures.” Nicolette is not shy of making a statement and will be a blow of fresh air at TEDxMaastricht.
