Deon Blaauw

My mission in life is to understand how different complex systems (ecosystems, human physiology, economies, organizations, and technologies) work, where they connect and how their subtle interconnectedness creates systems as a product of the interaction of its parts, not just the sum of its parts.

Currently a start-up advisor to early stage ventures based out of the US, Amsterdam and South Africa, I enjoy applying lean design thinking in order to find scalable and repeatable business models.

I specialize in advanced high tech solutions, having done various of tours of duty in unmanned aircraft systems, autonomous driving, the arts and recently in behavior-tech.
