Sam Baker

Sam began with Scale as an investment associate more than a decade ago. He spent his first eight years on the firm's investment team, which included sourcing, diligence, board roles, and monitoring of more than a dozen companies, such as Locus Robotics, Socure, and Proxy (acq. by Oura). Sam now focuses on all aspects of the firm's investor relations and capital formation efforts, working closely with the firm's existing and prospective limited partners.

Prior to Scale, Sam was a Growth Manager at Tilt (acquired by Airbnb) where he was responsible for scaling the company's user acquisition and retention programs. Beforehand, he worked for Box (NYSE: BOX) on the company's SMB Sales and Strategic Planning & Analysis teams, concentrating on business development and go-to-market initiatives. Sam began his career at Permal Capital Management (now Glouston Capital Partners), a Boston-based investment firm focused on private equity and venture capital secondaries.

Sam holds dual degrees in Classics and Psychology from Brown University. He is a committed endurance athlete, having completed seventeen (17) marathons (including all six world majors) and qualifying for Boston on twelve (12) occasions.
