What believers are saying

  • The recent $201M Series D funding round provides Podium with substantial capital to fuel growth and innovation.
  • The appointment of Pauline Reader as CMO brings extensive marketing expertise from top companies like Stitch Fix, Minted, and eBay, which can drive brand and revenue growth.

What critics are saying

  • The competitive landscape for communication and payment platforms is intense, with major players like Twilio posing significant threats.
