“You need validation, not just vision.” – Juha Riippi

What happens when a seasoned IT consultant dives headfirst into the deep end of quantum-powered simulations?

In this episode, Oleg Sadikov (CEO of Devico & DeviQA) sits down with Juha Riippi, CEO & co-founder of Quanscient, who went from 16 years in IT consulting to launching a deep tech startup rewriting the rules of simulation to talk about the real challenges of building in deep tech — and what it takes to succeed.

👉 A startup shaking up the simulation game — and a founder with zero chill about half-baked tech.

Expect real talk about: • How to structure remote-first, full-stack engineers teams • Why CTOs must stay involved in product development • When to outsource software development — and how to keep control • The underestimated power of user feedback in deep tech • Hiring for innovation, not just resumes

🔥 If you're building something bold, leading a tech team, or just deep into engineering podcasts — this one's your jam.
