He is always pushing - sometimes a bit too much according to others - and never failed to deliver. He thrives especially in new and challenging environments. We had a lot of fun opening up new international markets together. Would love to pick up a new project with Maurits any time.”

About us


About us


Vondel 1.0.
Vondel BV (Vondel Venture Development) is founded in Amsterdam in 2014 by two brothers, Maurits and Erik Stuyver, that want to help people do business globally. We have lived, traveled and studied all over the world. We have worked in Europe, Latin America and Asia in different commercial business development positions for Rocket Internet, Delivery Hero, Urban Sports Club and many other companies. We studied international business, marketing, finance, psychology and communication, which gave our adventurous souls and entrepreneurial spirits a solid academic background. We love to make new contacts and adapting to new environments. This helped us make our valuable contacts and get worldwide experiences. We are the ones to bring the right energy into the room, bring a vision, set a strategy, drive sales and grow companies. Now we can help you do the same for your business.

As of the end of 2021, Maurits gained full ownership of Vondel BV. Erik will keep on advising and supporting Vondel from Asia, where he is living and working in international sales & expansion. Furthermore per December 2021, Stuyver Capital BV has been created, as holding company and investment vehicle for new ventures.

Vondel 2.0
In 2023, we expanded the reach & impact of Vondel by turning it from only a commercial & capital consulting firm, into a swiss army knife like platform and multidisciplinary expert community. With our consulting, headhunting and capital services. Now, offering access to top fractional, interim, freelance & full-time leaders across fields of expertise, across sectors, across markets - all as a one-stop shop at Vondel.
