Sam Breed

I'm a partner at SHV, working on prototypes and helping build new companies.

When I'm not doing that, you can usually find me trail running somewhere around Mt Tam. I also collect records, enjoy riding motorcycles, and like to build things in my shop.

At Credit Karma, I built and scaled the front-end and web platform teams from 2015-2020.

I founded Quick Left in 2009 to build apps for startups. Sold to Cognizant in 2016.
