Nim Cheema is Co-Founder of Dessn, a London-based AI-native platform that enables designers and product managers to prototype directly inside real production codebases without writing a single line of code.

Nim began his career as a Software Engineer and worked at Unsplash before heading up AI at event startup Planned, where he partnered with co-founder Gabriella Hachem.

Nim built Dessn on the conviction that code would become commoditized, making design the true differentiator in product development. His engineering background and product intuition uniquely position him to bridge the gap between developers and non-technical builders.

Prior to Dessn, Nim and Gabriella also worked together at e-commerce startup Salesfloor (formerly Automate.ai), giving them a strong shared foundation before co-founding their own venture in 2024.

Dessn has raised $6M in seed funding led by Connect Ventures, with customers including Color, Wispr, and Mercury, and some users spending over five hours a day inside the product.
