Daniel Saks from Appdirect, Landbase, Episode three

Daniel Saks has always been at the lead of technology. In 2009, Daniel recognized the emergence of the Cloud as the future of SaaS. He and his partner started Appdirect, and quickly grew to become the leading B2B commerce platform. Over the course of 15 years, Daniel grew Appdirect to a 1.5 billion dollar company. But he’s brought our current technology to its culmination – it’s great right now, could be better, but never good enough. 

So he’s at it again, starting all over, and creating an entirely new technology – agentive AI. With his new company Landbase, he’s automating the go-to-market process for B2B businesses. As of Jan 1, 2024, this kind of technology didn’t exist, but it’s quickly becoming the “new thing.” Daniel claims that this is going to be 5x bigger than SaaS and will be 10x better than current AI. Using Landbase, users can automate up to 80% of their job – hence the company’s slogan “Reclaim your day.” 

With his great advice, unique perspective, and super successful journey “on the come up,” Daniel and I discuss what it’s like in the big leagues. From cold calling as an intern, to creating two multi-billion dollar businesses, his career has had it all.
