Growing startups is hard
but it doesn't have to be.
I'm Sam Kamani. Three-time founder, two exits. I plug in as a growth director for startups ready to scale, bringing the strategy, the playbooks, and the hands-on push from zero to exit. I work with founders everywhere, not just down the street.
Mission
I've been the founder in the room: raising the round, hitting the wall, finding the way through. Now I bring that into your startup.
Four reasons founders bring me in.
Operator
Three startups built, two taken to exit. I've raised the round, made payroll on a bad month, and found the way through, not just advised on it from the sidelines.
Author
Amazon bestselling author of The 30 Day Startup and Business in the Time of Corona. I write the playbooks I actually use with founders.
Speaker
Keynoted TEDx New Zealand, GITEX Dubai, Blockchain Summit Dubai, and Token2049 Singapore, taking the growth playbook to rooms on four continents.
Podcaster
Host of long-running conversations with founders and investors, unpacking what it actually takes to fund, grow, and exit a company.
On stages that care about growth.
Looking for a keynote speaker for your next event?
I speak about startups, Web3, blockchain & crypto, entrepreneurship, scaling a company, digital marketing, growth hacking, gaming/eSports, and MVP development. I also mentor and judge at hackathons and startup events. The goal is always to educate and entertain, drawing from what's actually worked (and blown up) building my own companies.
Best audience: founder and startup events, entrepreneurship associations, digital marketing and growth conferences, leadership events, and panel discussions.
Conversations on funding, growth & exits.
