I wouldn't have ever considered Loopt a breakout company.
You've defined breakout a little more liberally than I think Sam meant.
I think companies like Airbnb / Pinterest are really good examples of the types of companies that Sam is referring to. Other, slightly more risky examples might include Stripe, Uber (mostly due to competition).

Is that work really more interesting and engaging than creating operating systems, compilers, or working with the biggest of big data?
