IOT

Samsara Inc.

A maker of connected hardware and cloud software that helps trucking, construction, and logistics companies track and manage their vehicles and equipment in real time. Its AI-powered dashcams, GPS trackers, and sensors give fleet managers live visibility into routes, fuel use, and driver safety. Founded in 2015 by Sanjit Biswas and John Bicket — the same pair who earlier built the cloud-networking firm Meraki and sold it to Cisco — the company took its name from the Sanskrit word for the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth, a nod to their "second time through" the startup journey.
