From the first coffee I had with Poonam I knew she was the real deal.
As a serial entrepreneur fresh off of her last exit (Stealthforce - the gig economy of real estate; a resource and project management platform for CRE), I was taken aback by her passion, vision and mission.
Now, as the CEO of Raise, she is revolutionizing childcare for the future of work.
Poonam is no stranger to real estate. Prior to StealthForce, she was Deputy to the Head of Global Real Estate Asset Management at Partners Group AG ($40 bn AUM), and earlier employee 13 at The Gerson Lehrman Group, which was the world's first institutional expert network. And she certainly has the academic accolades as well, earning her BA from Harvard and MBA from Wharton. Twice named a top female CEO in CREtech, she has been featured in The New York Times, Inc. Magazine, Harvard Business Review, NBC News, and more. She is also an author and experienced public speaker who has published four books in five languages which have been printed worldwide.
Raise is a venture at the intersection of childcare and the future of work. Solving pain points for parents, employers, landlords and tenants, RAISE is brand-driven, tech-enabled venture redefining the workplace to meet the current realities of parenthood. Creating value through landlord partnerships as a powerful tenant retention strategy, and raising the bar in coworking by enabling parents the flexibility they need, Raise is redefining opportunity for today's working, millennial parent.
