We Are Founders Interviews DDScore’s Mikko Heilimo

We Are Founders spoke with DDScore Founder and CEO Mikko Heilimo about preparing to raise, the gaps that often appear in pitch materials, and what founders can learn from an outside assessment.
The conversation highlights three connected questions: Is there a credible path to paying customers? Does the execution plan match the available resources? Do the economics improve as the business grows?
