Poornima has been fascinated by technology since she was 3. Her father, a hardware engineer, made “chips” and “wafers,” which she thought were potato chips and cookies! Eventually her dad took her to his fab (fabrication laboratory) when she was 9, where she sat and watched how chips and wafers were made and tested. Inspired by all that technology could do for humanity, she double majored in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Duke University, then moved to Silicon Valley, where she was lured into startup land. She was the founding engineer at Mint.com. Since its acquisition she has gone on to start two more companies:BizeeBee, a CRM solution for fitness businesse
