In this episode of Devico Breakfast Bar Podcast, Oleg Sadikov, the co-founder and CEO at Devico & DeviQA, sits down with Bram Wiepjes, founder and CEO at Baserow. Bram reveals how he turned a side project into an open-source no-code platform competing with Airtable and raised $5.16M in a Seed round.
