Juho’s best advice for entrepreneurs:
“I also always want to remind that it's so much more than just tech. I think that, actually, tech is probably not the most difficult part of this type of business. The most difficult part is kind of like solving the so-called chicken and egg problem, like the supply-demand conundrum, and we have lots of educational resources on that.” (34”01)Connect with Juho:
