Level Entrepreneurship was launched by Olmo van Beurden after experiencing that many educational institutes were (and are) struggling with providing effective and hands-on entrepreneurial experiences to their students. He first started giving guest lectures in 2018.

Olmo brings the combined experience of entrepreneurship, the tourism sector and providing trainings to the table. This enables him to provide engaging and interactive educations. 

Key Qualities

• Entrepreneurship in Tourism (starting the company SurfaWhile and running it for 8 years).
• Training time-management and vitality (experience in providing in-company training, thus knowing really well how to engage people/studens in his classes).
• Business Coaching (in several ways, Olmo’s been involved in helping other entrepreneurs moving forward, incl. several companies within tourism).

Key Values

• Every Student has a huge potential and I aim to be adding value to unlocking this.
• The best way to learn is by doing – or at least creating an experience which comes as closely the the real world as possible.

How it all started

At the age of twelve, Olmo embarked on his first entrepreneurial endeavor, distributing flyers with a school friend to establish themselves as the premier car washers of Utrecht (a city in The Netherlands). Subsequently, he spent eight years as Co-Owner of SurfaWhile, an online travel agency specialising in surf holidays, honing his expertise in business management and strategic thinking.

Today, as a teacher and business coach, Olmo leverages his wealth of experience, extensive network within tourism and in-depth knowledge to guide entrepreneurs toward success—both in their business endeavors and personal lives. Central to his coaching philosophy is the importance of establishing genuine connections with clients whilst delivering real and true value to someone.

Besides his entrepreneurial experience, Olmo also has focused on what he describes as Structure: effeciency, time-management, planning and goal-setting. These are skills many Entrepreneurs are very happy to learn about as well.

Cultural Diversion

Olmo’s interest in people and cultures shapes his approach to coaching, encompassing elements such as salsa dancing, networking, and embracing an international lifestyle that prioritizes happiness and fulfillment. His travels to Colombia, in particular, serve as a poignant example of his multifaceted passions coming together. During his time in Medellín, he delivered a lecture at the Universidad de Medellín, organized meet-ups for international entrepreneurs, and supported Javier in realising his dream of opening a barbershop—an embodiment of Olmo’s commitment to making a meaningful impact in the lives of others.
