Maurice Stam
Co-Founder at Vibeday
A year ago, Vibeday didn’t exist. Now we are one of the four finalists for the Tech Hero Award. That’s still a bit surreal. For me it’s proof that a small team can show AI delivers real results in reach, leads and sales.
Maurice Stam graduated in AI about 12 years ago and spent 7 years at Adyen building payment integrations for companies like Spotify. Today, as co-founder of Vibeday, he builds AI-driven campaigns that run inside Instagram DMs for brands like Samsung, STËLZ, Picnic and ICI PARIS XL: personal conversations with thousands of people at the same time.
The results speak for themselves:
→ 99% of recipients open every DM a brand sends
→ 19% sales uplift for Samsung
→ 44 million views and 62,372 leads for STËLZ
Maurice Stam is one of the four finalists for the Tech Hero of the Year Award 2026. The winner will be announced at CIODAY2026.
