Guest Bio
Born in Massachusetts, Sam Nagar is a serial entrepreneur who graduated from USC in 2011 with a degree in computer engineering. After working at Microsoft as a software engineer for several years, he left to start his first company Pixeom, where he pioneered software for edge compute orchestration. After growing the company to $25M+ in annual revenue, Pixeom was acquired by Siemens in 2019. Sam went on to work as a Senior VP at Siemens, focused on innovation and strategy. In 2024 he left Siemens to begin his second startup Terragrit, known as the "Canva" for simulation - a collaborative, no-code virtualization platform for validating pilots in a physical space - which has also achieved millions in revenue, and a recent $25M seed round from top VCs.
