Putting Lipstick on an AI Pig, with Rasmus Areskoug

About this episode

Rasmus Areskoug discusses the reality of AI in finance and the importance of effective tools for credit control.

Chris and Mike are joined by Rasmus Areskoug, CEO and co-founder of Paraglide, fresh off a $5M seed round. From AI hype to actual ROI, Rasmus breaks down why most “AI-powered” finance tools are just legacy software with a chatbot — and where AI genuinely transforms credit control. This episode is about cutting through the noise and building tools that actually get you paid. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
