Poornima Vijayashanker EIR at 500 Startups

Fabulous call with Poornima. Very knowledgeable in marketplace and FinTech space. We were able to quickly get into detailed questions about optimizing our platform and go-to-market, and have come away with some valuable and actionable insights. Her passion and energy for what she does shines through and I'm looking forward to further calls. Can highly recommend.

I found Poornima to be exceptionally precise and really clear on the advice she gave me. She really took the time before the call to look at my site and then gave me good tactical actions along with more strategic ones. Highly recommend.

Poornima is sharp and on point. She immediately grasped our concept and provided excellent suggestions and next steps. I highly recommend Poornima on Clarity!!

Vibrant, intelligent, well-spoken, caring, and insightful. Thanks for the great feedback!

Poornima gave me clear and concise advice I was looking for. She gave me some pointers to work with. She has industry experience and knowledge.

It's always humbling and inspiring to talk to people way smarter than you. GREAT insight from Poornima on tech challenges facing our startup... I'll be back in touch :)

While my team and I were preparing the final stages of our software development for our group payment startup, we began to actively search for strategic Advisors for our Board. I had come across one of Poornima's blog posts on Women 2.0 and was immediately impressed with her message. After connecting a short time later, Poornima accepted our offer and jumped right in. She has been invaluable with helping to strategize on everything from recommendations to enhance our user experience to our SXSW plans to our beta launch. Our entire team has both enjoyed and benefited from Poornima's expertise, input and her thoughtful approach. We look forward to continuing to have her as an Advisor as our software and company continue to evolve.

Poornima has been an invaluable resource for advice and introductions. She has a deep understanding for the challenges that founders face and the right strategies for solving both simple and complex start-up problems.

Poornima has more tenacity than anyone I know. She works full-time at Synopsys - having achieved multiple raises and promotions her first year - while also taking graduate CS courses at Stanford. Impressive!
