In this episode of the Match Relevant Podcast, we sit down with Daniel Saks, founder of Landbase and co-founder of AppDirect. Daniel shares his journey of scaling SaaS companies from startup to unicorn, raising over half a billion in capital, and creating billions in equity value.

At Landbase, Daniel is pioneering a new category: AI-powered go-to-market. Landbase helps companies launch sales and marketing campaigns in minutes instead of months, transforming growth from a slow, linear grind into AI-driven exponential results.

We explore how AI is reshaping sales and marketing, the lessons Daniel learned scaling AppDirect into a leading subscription commerce platform, and why the next generation of unicorns will be built on AI-driven go-to-market strategies.

Daniel also reflects on leadership, fundraising, and the importance of aligning human performance with machine intelligence to accelerate business growth.
