Sam DuPratt — Co-Founder
I recently joined the Strategy and M&A team at Cloudflare, a transition that marks an exciting new chapter after a career as a professional alpine skier. My background is rooted in high-performance athletics, having competed on the World Cup circuit with the Stifel U.S. Ski Team and helped the University of Utah secure an NCAA National Championship. While I’m proud of the results, I’m more grateful for the perspective the sport gave me. Navigating the highs of competition and the long road of injury recovery taught me the value of discipline, calculated risk, and the importance of a "show up and do the work" mindset. I’ve always believed in a dual-path approach, complementing my time on the mountain with an Accounting degree from The University of Utah to build a strong analytical foundation. I’m excited to be surrounded by such a talented team in this new industry and am always eager to connect with others working at the intersection of strategy, tech, and high-stakes problem-solving.
