Dennis Drost
Drowgoo

Dennis started his career as a chemist, but quickly switched to software engineering because of his passion for automation. He always has new ideas and projects, and sometimes even finishes one.


About 4 years ago Dennis started his own company Drowgoo. It started as a company to scare away geese to prevent damages in the agricultural sector, but soon grew into a company that makes sensors for all types of wild live detection.

Ever wondered how a simple idea can evolve into startup with an extensive network of IoT sensors, tracking wildlife across thousands of hectares? Traditional wildlife monitoring, involving manual counts and measurements, is time-consuming and often inaccurate. By leveraging sensor technology, we can automate tracking, localization, and counting 24/7, reducing ecological damage and aiding in achieving climate goals.

Join me as I share the journey from concept to prototype, and the scaling up to a fully operational sensor network, highlighting the challenges faced and the groundbreaking impact on ecological studies.
