Sam Liang
Sam Liang is the co-founder and CEO of Otter.ai, the AI meeting intelligence platform that crossed $100M ARR in 2025 with just under 200 employees. A Stanford-trained electrical engineer who co-invented Google Maps' Blue Dot and sold his first startup Alohar Mobile to Alibaba in 2013, Liang founded Otter in 2016 after drowning in 30-40 weekly meetings with no reliable way to capture what was said. Today Otter serves 35 million users across enterprise, education, and government, processing tens of billions of minutes of conversation - and has evolved from a transcription tool into an autonomous AI meeting agent suite that can answer questions, coach salespeople, and conduct product demos in real time.
