Poornima Vijayashanker is currently the founder at Femgineer, previously founding engineer at Mint.com. Since Mint’s acquisition, she has taught software product development to entrepreneurs and engineer around the world through Femgineer’s courses, and also started BizeeBee, a CRM solution for fitness businesses. 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 businesses, and Femgineer, an education company for tech professionals and entrepreneurs. She recently taught at Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering.

Data: disrupting healthcare - Jeff Dachis - CEO OneDrop

Mon, 15 Feb 2016 23:17:36 GMT

Jeff is the CEO and Founder of OneDrop, a simple, powerful and convenient mobile platform for managing diabetes, born from his own experience as a newly diagnosed Type 1 LADA (September 2013). His desire to bring the quantified self movement, internet of things, big data and mobile computing to people with diabetes in a simple, fully integrated solution led him to create the One Drop drop platform – which won “Best Design” at the LAUNCH 2015 Festival.

Jeff is a digital visionary and a serial entrepreneur. Considered one of the early pioneers in the development of the World Wide Web, Jeff was involved in the creation of the first banner ad, the creation of the first web animation, and has digital work exhibited as part of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection. As the Founder, CEO and Chairman of Dachis Group, he helped coin the term ‘Social Business’, set the vision and strategy for its Social Business consulting practice and the development of its big data social analytics platform, and drove the eventual strategic exit to Sprinklr, the leading social experience management platform. He is also the Co-Founder, former CEO and Chairman of Razorfish (acquired by Publicis), the world’s largest digital marketing solutions firm, where he bootstrapped the company and led it through its successful $55MM IPO.

Jeff is a Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year winner (NYC 2001) and finalist (Austin 2012). He is an active mentor and investor with TechStars and Founder’s Institute, and serves or has served on advisory boards for companies including Sprinklr, Bazaarvoice, OfferPop, Ferris, and SocialWare. Jeff is a frequent guest lecturer at the University of Texas at Austin and New York University; he has a MA from NYU, and a double Liberal Arts degree from SUNY Purchase.
