Key people at Samp.
Samp develops a deeptech SaaS solution that automatically generates fully intelligent 3D virtual replicas, or digital twins, of industrial sites from 3D scans. This AI-powered platform creates a "Shared Reality" workspace, enabling industrial operators to consolidate technical information and collaborate seamlessly around an always up-to-date 3D model of their equipment and systems. The technology significantly accelerates maintenance, modernization, and operational handover processes, providing comprehensive asset visibility.
The company's history began in 2019, when Shivani Shah, CTO, and Laurent Bourgouin, CEO, met at STATION F through the Entrepreneur First program. Laurent, with 15 years in the Water & Energy industry, recognized the pervasive technical debt and data challenges faced by industrial facilities. Shivani, holding a PhD in AI applied to large datasets, sought a impactful real-world application for her advanced technology. Their combined insights led to the realization that AI could dramatically improve the management and transformation of industrial infrastructure.
Samp's product serves industrial facilities globally, providing them with critical tools to adapt to modern challenges. The company envisions AI-empowered industrial facilities that efficiently meet sustainability imperatives. By offering an integrated 3D reality model, Samp aims to enable these facilities to transform and upgrade their operations significantly faster, addressing environmental concerns, enhancing safety, and mitigating the impacts of a shrinking skilled workforce.
Samp is a deep‑tech SaaS company that builds AI‑generated 3D workspaces (industrial digital twins) to help operators manage, maintain and modernize complex industrial sites faster and safer. [2][1]
