Conversation With Sutter Hill’s Sam Pullara

Congrats to friend Sam Pullara on completing one year as an investor with Sutter Hill. Sam is a great guy, technical whiz, and quietly doing interesting things over his neck of the woods. Earlier in the year, I had Sam on TCTV with me…it’s a long interview, but he has an interesting career that could be a guidepost for many technical folks out there.
