The companies that win the next decade won’t just adopt AI — they’ll redesign how work gets done from the ground up. Daniel Saks, CEO and Co-Founder of Landbase, returns to share lessons learned from scaling two companies across two major technology waves. Daniel explores how the path from SaaS to agentic AI is not just a shift in tools, but a complete rethinking of how businesses operate, compete and grow.

Specifically, Daniel discusses:

(03:35) Daniel had early conviction in SaaS and saw it reshape business.

(07:48) How his approach today targets SMBs, and not enterprises.

(10:04) The intense competition in AI and how Landbase differentiates through deep talent, data, and execution.

(16:34) Why the infrastructure war in AI mirrors the early cloud era.

(19:53) AI can replace outdated service-based businesses.

(21:24) “Reclaim your day” reflects Landbase’s mission to let humans focus on creative, high-value work.

(23:39) Why value creation and timing still win deals — regardless of the tech wave.

(28:41) Relevance beats personalization in outbound.

(30:36) Why “move fast and break things” doesn’t work in a world demanding trust, values and governance.

(36:26) AI will run on autopilot — with humans in control.
