Why Deeploy?
The potential of Machine Learning for our society is huge. We see more and more impactful ML applications, ranging from governments and healthcare to tech and banks.
On the other hand, we become more aware of the risks and demand explainability and accountability of complex models. Interaction between humans and models is crucial to make ML projects a success, meaning humans understand and give feedback on models.
We believe we can live up to the promise of ML while keeping models explainable and accountable. Deeploy enables human involvement with models, making sure everyone can understand, control and interact with Machine Learning.

Background:
20+ years entrepreneurial experience in Machine Learning / data science as CEO and CTO, 10+ years experience in strategic AI consultancy, (Co-)Founder of 4 tech companies, Advisor and Investor in Multiple Tech Companies, M.Sc System Engineering @TU Delft
Why Deeploy?
Machine learning is becoming a commodity, but many people don’t understand why and how this commodity works. Without explainable or reproducible models, Machine Learning will never be trusted or used. At Deeploy we create constant human involvement in Machine Learning to ensure explainability and reproducible results.
Tim Kleinloog
Co-founder | CTO
Background:
- 5+ years Lead Machine Learning & Product owner for multiple tech teams
- 5+ years ML tech consultancy for corporates and scale-ups
- MLOps & ML Engineering Specialist
- M.Sc Information Systems (IEIS) – TU Eindhoven
Why Deeploy?
I see many concerns in ML deployments that cause a bit of a negative sentiment around AI/ML, let’s look at what we can do and how! I believe that explainable AI (XAI) is a crucial development that every model deployment can benefit from. Especially to make human (expert) involvement possible. With Deeploy we want to build the foundation to make ML deployments truly accountable, so every Data Scientist can make reliable, thoughtful deployments and involve the right domain experts.
Nick Jetten
Co-founder | CMO
Background:
Founder of Machine Learning companies Enjins & Deeploy. 8+ years of ML implementation experience at scale-ups & corporates. Previous roles at VODW, KLM and Isobar. MSc Econometrics @ RuG.
Why Deeploy?
Talking about concepts like “Explainability”, “Accountability” or “Ethics” in AI or ML is something that many people do nowadays. But building a technical solution that actually supports companies in realizing those concepts in their day-to-day ML operations is not. Throughout the years, I have seen that the ML model itself is not the true challenge. It is the technical and organizational challenge of implementing a model into production and keeping it there. That’s why I co-founded and believe in Deeploy.

Why Deeploy?
Machine learning is disrupting not only the mobility sector but entire industries. And yet, transparency, accountability, and trust present an enormous challenge for companies. Often harming adaptation and leading to missed business opportunities. To solve those challenges, we at Deeploy strive to ensure explainability for every model prediction with human involvement in the center. Creating transparency and trust in AI.
