Sam Lurye
Sam Lurye is the founder and CEO of Kargo, a San Francisco-based industrial AI company that installs computer-vision towers at warehouse loading docks to automatically capture, verify, and digitize freight data in real time. A Stanford electrical engineering dropout, Lurye left campus in 2019 after touring factories across the US and spotting a universal blind spot: every warehouse still tracked its most important physical transactions - trucks arriving, pallets moving, damages happening - on paper and memory. Kargo has since deployed over 1,000 sensor towers, grown its enterprise customer base from 3 to 45+ (including Mercedes-Benz, Tillamook, and Aurobindo), tripled annual revenue from 2024 to 2025, and raised a $42M Series B in December 2025.
