I’m Jeroen from Salesflare and this is Founder Coffee.
Every two weeks, I have coffee with a different founder. We discuss our lives, our passions, what we’ve learned, … in an intimate interview, to get to know the person behind the company.
For this twentieth episode, I speak with Mikita Mikado, founder of PandaDoc, one of the leading proposal and quote solutions for salespeople.
In just four years, Mikita has uae phone number data built a company of approximately 160 employees focused on learning, impact and fun.
We talk about how he builds the culture that makes PandaDoc special, why he spends most of his time communicating and strategizing, and his favorite hobby, surfing.

Jeroen: Hello Mikita. It’s a important for my business? pleasure to welcome you to Founder Coffee.
Mikita: Hello Jeroen. I am happy to be here.
Jeroen: You are the founder of PandaDoc.
Mikita: PandaDoc helps make sales customer-centric with beautiful digital proposals, contracts, signatures, payments, and workflows bz lists around those documents. That’s what we do.
Mikita: Yes, we focus on sales.
Mikita: Well, the idea we could say was born out of an internal pain. I had to sell. Many years ago, my co-founder and I were running a software company and we were building software for other people. We had to do a lot of sales pitches, and we found the process extremely tedious, and we wanted to build something that would solve that internal pain.
Yeah, that’s the PandaDoc story. I would say four and a half, maybe five years ago, we had this idea for a horizontal, all-in-one, quote-to-cash software. We launched it about three and a half years ago.
