Deeploy B.V. is a Dutch software company based in Utrecht, the Netherlands, founded in 2020 by Maarten Stolk, Bastiaan van de Rakt, Tim Kleinloog, and Nick Jetten.[1]. The company develops a Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) platform with a focus on explainability, governance, and regulatory compliance, particularly in connection with the forthcoming EU AI Act[2][3].

History and funding

[edit]

Deeploy began operations in 2020 and attracted its first external funding in January 2022, when Curiosity VC invested €0.8 million in the company[4].

In June 2023, the company closed a €2.5 million seed round from a group of investors including Curiosity VC, SI3 Fund, Bonsai Partners, Emilia Capital, and angel investor Anton Loeffen[5][6][7].

In 2025, Deeploy secured funding of up to €7.5 million from the European Innovation Council (EIC) under the Horizon Europe programme, consisting of a €2.5 million grant and the possibility of an additional €5 million in equity financing[8][3][9]

Platform

[edit]

The Deeploy platform is a human-centric MLOps platform, bringing a governance and oversight layer for AI systems within the infrastructure where the model runs[9][10]. Key features include:

  • Model deployment and serving[11]
  • Explainability tools, including SHAP, Anchors, PDP, and domain-specific custom explainers[12]
  • Human-in-the-loop capabilities, allowing experts to provide feedback on predictions, which can be used for model improvements and corrections of model output[12][13]
  • Monitoring and drift detection, with real-time metrics, alerting, and audit logging[11]
  • Governance and compliance automation, incorporating bias detection and documentation aligned with EU AI Act requirements[3]

Positioning and Partnerships

[edit]

Deeploy integrates with cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.[14][15]. Further, the company collaborates with European AI consultancies and technology partners[16][17][18][19]. Deeploy’s platform is primarily used in regulated sectors, including financial services, healthcare, insurance, and government agencies[20][8]

Customers

[edit]

Among the company’s clients are the Dutch pension fund PGGM and online bank Bunq, both of which use Deeploy in workflows requiring explainability and compliance, such as anti-money laundering and credit risk assessment.[20][12]
