# Samsara

**Role in the source:** A B2B SaaS company cited as an example of a firm currently enjoying **high valuation multiples (50× free cash flow or higher)**, whose sustainability Stuart questions in the face of AI commoditization — a poster child for the [[concept-saaspocalypse]] and [[concept-terminal-value-collapse]].

**Enrichment note:** Public connected-operations / IoT cloud company. Canonical reference: Samsara's investor-relations and corporate site. Named together with [[entity-cloudflare-d2|Cloudflare]].
