The current managing director of Launchpad LA, Sam Teller is a native Angeleno, with an eye for successful startups, food, and style. Another revered biz accelerator on the Silicon scene, Launchpad provides funding, free office space, and access to an impressive network of mentors and advisors who already know their way around the tech world. Prior to this, Sam Co-founded Charlie, a media strategy agency who lists Samuel L. Jackson, Tumblr, and Rachel Zoe among its clients. And before
that, this busy guy worked on the new media and marketing campaign for a little-known presidential candidate called Barack Obama. Wonder how that turned out...
