As the daughter of first-generation immigrants, Sima Gandhi is no stranger to hard work.

Now, Gandhi is using her experience to advise fintech start-ups through mentoring and angel investing. She\\u2019s also focused on helping marginalized populations become more visible through technology.\\xa0\\xa0
