Meet the founders

What does it really take to start a company?

Not a perfect plan.

Not unlimited resources.

Just a problem worth solving — and the courage to begin before you feel ready.That’s how DeNoize was founded.

In 2018, Aman Jindal, an aerospace engineer from Delft University of Technology with prior startup experience, joined Deep Science Ventures in London to address urban noise pollution—an overlooked challenge impacting the health and quality of life of millions.

Working with DSV founders Mark Hammond and Dominic Falcão, Aman deployed a search algorithm across research papers, LinkedIn profiles, and technical publications to identify specialists in active noise control. The algorithm produced 100 curated profiles globally.

‍Olivier Schevin emerged as the optimal candidate: PhD in acoustics from EPFL, 15+ years developing active noise cancellation technologies, and multiple patents.

"This will be complex, will require a lot of resources... but its exciting and worth exploring," he replied.

Where others cited complexity as prohibitive, Olivier acknowledged the challenges while expressing genuine interest in exploration.

Their initial collaboration unfolded in Olivier's home laboratory near Marseille. Over one weekend, with wood, glass and some basic electronics, they built their first prototype. By Sunday night, both knew: this was the beginning of something big. DeNoize subsequently relocated to Delft in the Netherlands, joining the YES!Delft accelerator program to build their foundation.

7 years later, Aman's entrepreneurial experience combined with Olivier's technical depth is developing breakthrough acoustic innovation. DeNoize's smart system transforms ordinary windows into controllable acoustic environments, addressing a fundamental urban quality-of-life issue through precise engineering. Olivier’s technical vision has always been far beyond windows. He sees DeNoize as a category-defining technology for acoustics.

Aman didn’t begin with all the answers. But he learned fast — about funding, hiring, regulations, and more. His guiding principle remained the same: When things get hard, go back to why you started.
