Strategy & Governance
Board-level counsel on direction, structure, and the questions principals are reluctant to ask aloud. Strategy reviews, organisational design, and the work of choosing well.
Independent advisory · Amsterdam
Considered counsel.
Clear outcomes.
Van Kempen Ventures advises principals and leadership teams on the decisions that matter: strategy, capital, and the long view.
Begin a conversation →We work selectively, and at depth.
Van Kempen Ventures advises a small number of clients at any one time. Our remit ranges from a single board conversation to a multi-year engagement; what is constant is the standard. Independent perspective. Careful judgement. The discipline to say less when less is what is needed.
“We are not a firm in the institutional sense. We are a practice. And a practice is what our clients pay for.”
Three areas, deeply known.
Capital & Transactions
Fundraising, partnerships, sell-side and buy-side advisory. Handled discreetly and end-to-end, with the patience that good transactions require.
Succession & Transition
Founder transitions, generational handovers, and the operational work that determines whether a transition lands well, for the business and for the family behind it.
