Deeploy, an Utrecht, Netherlands-based Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) platform, announced that it has secured €2.5 million in Seed funding.
The round was led by SI3 Fund, with participation from Curiosity VC, Bonsai Partners, Emilia Capital, and Anton Loeffen.
The investment is used to amplify its Responsible AI platform to support any high-impact AI models and to assure the responsible and transparent use of AI.
With the funding raised, Deeploy is planning to expand its platform to follow the new requirements of the upcoming EU AI Act and to expand its team to support a European roll-out.
Deeploy uses proprietary software to make AI explainable and transparent for companies, their customers, and regulators.
“AI applications are dynamic and often self-learning, which yields the risk of becoming black boxes to end users. It’s crucial to keep an eye on the development of AI, as well as keeping AI-driven business operations explainable with the help of so-called explainability methods, for example towards customers or in the context of compliance.” Maarten Stolk - CEO & Co-Founder
