At Elevation Capital, Poorvi Vijay is backing a new generation of founders who are building AI-native companies where technology amplifies, not replaces, human potential.
Poorvi Vijay, Principal Investor at Elevation Capital, first encountered artificial intelligence as an undergraduate at IIT Guwahati, where she specialized in design and human-computer interaction. Her early projects, ranging from wearable computing to XR/AR technologies, sparked a curiosity about how technology could amplify the human experience. That curiosity evolved into a vocation. After completing her undergrad, she joined Amazon India, working on retail and international expansion, before moving to the UK to join the Alexa speech team around 2016–17. It was here, while building voice-interactive systems and exploring how tone, emotion, and personality shape digital companions, that she entered the world of conversational AI.
