🚨 Please welcome Sinah Mussmann to byFounders 👋 

Sinah will be based in the Copenhagen office, where she will continue to work with early-stage founders in the New Nordics, particularly focusing on the Danish ecosystem.

When getting to know a founder, Sinah likes to go beyond the top-level intro and she has some questions she's known for asking. Naturally, we had to find out for ourselves what her own answers are too.
