Ashima brings cross-continental perspective to every pitch she shapes. With experience spanning India, the UK, and Canada, she understands what it truly means to build a business across borders. Because when you’re launching in a new country, the real challenges often go beyond your pitch deck — it’s about decoding unfamiliar systems, aligning with investor expectations, and navigating the cultural nuances that influence every “yes” or “no.”

Ashima’s journey blends entrepreneurial grit with corporate depth. She`s scaled her own six-figure advisory firm, drove strategic innovation at Canada’s largest telecom, and led high-impact projects for provincial government clients at a renowned Canadian IT agency.

But what truly sets her apart is her inside track on the Canadian startup ecosystem. As a pitch reviewer with VANTEC Angel Network — a Designated Organization under the Start-up Visa (SUV) program — she’s evaluated hundreds of decks and knows exactly what separates a “maybe” from a “sponsor-ready.”

Through her mentorship with WeBC (British Columbia’s leading network for women entrepreneurs) and Futurpreneur (Canada’s flagship program supporting young founders), Ashima has helped entrepreneurs move from uncertainty to clarity — and from overlooked to unforgettable.

Her goal? To help you craft a pitch that resonates, overcomes hidden barriers, and secures the sponsorship and investment your Canadian dream deserves.
