About
Sam brings a mix of operating and early-stage investing experience. He spent seven years at Hyperloop One, joining as an early team member to build a next-gen transportation system at the intersection of aerospace, autonomy, and large-scale infrastructure. At Hyperloop, he led efforts across product, GTM, partnerships, and fundraising, helping scale from a few dozen to 300+ FTE, raise ~$500M in capital, and successfully test the world’s first full-scale, human-occupied hyperloop system. More recently, Sam has focused on investing in areas including robotics, industrial automation, digital infrastructure, and energy. He holds a BA from the University of Pennsylvania, graduating magna cum laude, and an MBA from UCLA Anderson.
