Sam Blond is the Co-founder and CEO of Monaco, the revenue engine for startups.Sam is one of the best sales operators in tech. He spent four years as CRO at Brex, where he helped scale it to a ~$12B valuation, ran sales at Zenefits before that, and got his start at EchoSign.If there's a modern GTM playbook, Sam helped write it. Our conversation walks through how AI has rewritten a big chunk of it. But most importantly, we talk about what hasn't changed.We get into the sales work AI is now better at than humans, and why Sam thinks 90% of startups misdiagnose their bottleneck as conversion when it's really demand gen.He explains why he doesn't measure early brand marketing at all and trusts anecdotes over attribution, walks through the full Monaco launch playbook including the Super Bowl box-truck story, and shares a rev-ops insight from Brex, including how they figured out a specific ICP converted at 4x the rate of another.Thank you to Numeral, Flex, Amplitude, and Merge for supporting this episode.Numeral: The end-to-end platform for sales tax and compliance https://www.numeral.comFlex: Get premium banking and a net 60 day credit card at 0% APY https://home.flex.one/referral/bananacapitalAmplitude: AI analytics, all you have to do is ask https://www.amplitude.comMerge: Every modal.

Nuno Goncalves Pedro is the Founder and Managing Partner at Chamaeleon. He won't describe it this way, but I'd call Chamaeleon something like "The RenTech of VC."Chamaeleon is built around its proprietary data platform, Mantis, which borrows tools like factor analysis from public-market investors and operates more like a quant hedge fund than a traditional venture firm.We talk through a bunch of data that cuts against the common narrative in venture, including why repeat founders aren't always the safer bet, why sub-$100m funds catch the majority of fund-returning deals, and why 10x might be a better target than 100x.Thank you to Numeral, Flex, Amplitude, and Merge for supporting this episode.Numeral: The end-to-end platform for sales tax and compliance https://www.numeral.comFlex: Get premium banking and a net 60 day credit card at 0% APY https://home.flex.one/referral/bananacapitalAmplitude: AI analytics, all you have to do is ask https://www.amplitude.comMerge: Every modal.

Scott Stevenson is the Co-founder and CEO of Spellbook.Spellbook is an AI copilot for contract review and drafting, essentially “Cursor for lawyers.” They have 4,000 customers in 80 countries, and to my knowledge is the fastest growing AI company in Canada, and the largest company in the world built on a Microsoft Word plugin.Scott has been building in legal AI longer than almost anyone. We talk about why legal software was essentially untouched before LLM's, why the market is so hot right now, if it's sustainable, and how Spellbook navigates product differentiation compared to horizontal AI products like ChatGPT.We talk about why fine-tuning your own models was one of the biggest mistakes early AI companies made, how to build a network effect as a vertical AI product, and Spellbook's philosophy of “Don't sharpen your axe when the chainsaw is coming out tomorrow”.Spellbook spent a few years finding PMF before really taking off in 2022, and Scott shares their playbook for launching over 100 product experiments in three years, how to know when to lean in, and what it's been like scaling Spellbook post-PMF.Thank you to Numeral and Flex for supporting this episode.Try Numeral, the end-to-end platform for sales tax and compliance: https://www.numeral.comSign-up for Flex Elite with code TURNER, get $1,000: https://form.typeform.com/to/Rx9rTjFzTimestamps:(0:30) Spellbook: “Cursor for Contracts”(3:08) Building the world's largest Microsoft Word plugin(14:06) Why legal software was untouched before LLMs(18:32) $30 trillion moves through contracts annually(20:51) Why ChatGPT won't replace vertical tools(25:15) Fine-tuning was the biggest mistake in AI(30:00) Differences between pro and amateur gamers(37:38) Top-down vs. bottoms-up in legal AI(42:27) The long-tail of legal AI software(47:24) Building for models that don't exist yet(51:20) Skating where the puck is going(1:01:35) The legal bill that cost 50% of his bank account(1:09:33) Testing 100 landing pages in 3 years(1:14:06) The moment Spellbook hit PMF(1:19:17) Building new brands for each product experiment(1:23:10) Raising a Series B with a tweet(1:27:41) What Scott learned from Keith Rabois(1:31:16) Scott's favorite new AI toolReferencedSpellbook: https://www.spellbook.legal/Careers at Spellbook: https://www.spellbook.legal/careersPlaying to Win by David Sirlin: https://www.amazon.com/Playing-Win-becoming-David-Sirlin/dp/1413498817Find the Fast Moving Water by NFX: https://www.nfx.com/post/find-the-fast-moving-waterSpellbook's case study with Replit: https://replit.com/customers/spellbookTwin: https://twin.so/Follow ScottTwitter: https://x.com/scottastevensonLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottasBlog: https://blog.scottstevenson.net/Follow TurnerTwitter: https://twitter.com/TurnerNovakLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/turnernovakSubscribe to my newsletter to get every episode + the transcript in your inbox every week: https://www.thespl.it/

Sam Ross is the Co-Founder and CEO of Numeral, a company revolutionizing how e-commerce and SaaS businesses handle US sales tax and international tax automation. Before launching Numeral, Sam built several e-commerce ventures that generated over $50 million in revenue, giving him first-hand experience with the challenges of scaling, managing cash flow, and preparing for an exit.Highlight Bullets> Here's a glimpse of what you would learn…. Challenges of US sales tax compliance for e-commerce businesses post-2018 Wayfair ruling.The complexities of sales tax nexus and varying state regulations.Personal experiences of e-commerce entrepreneurs with sales tax issues.The financial consequences of non-compliance, including audits and penalties.Strategies for managing sales tax compliance, including the use of automation tools.The importance of understanding product taxability and state-specific exemptions.Options for businesses with unpaid sales tax liabilities, including retroactive registration and voluntary disclosure agreements.Emerging growth opportunities in e-commerce, such as TikTok Shops and AI-driven search optimization.The significance of customer-centric product development based on search behavior and preferences.Recommendations for e-commerce entrepreneurs on compliance, handling state notices, and investing in new technologies.In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, host Josh Hadley interviews Sam Ross, co-founder and CEO of Numeral. They discuss the complexities of US sales tax compliance for e-commerce businesses, especially after the 2018 Wayfair Supreme Court decision. Sam shares his entrepreneurial journey, explains how Numeral automates tax compliance, and offers practical advice on managing tax risks. The conversation also explores emerging e-commerce growth strategies, including leveraging AI, personalized marketing, and niche product development, providing actionable insights for founders navigating today's challenging tax and digital landscape.Here are the 3 action items that Josh identified from this episode:Automate Sales Tax Before It Becomes a Costly ProblemRun a nexus scan across all your channels (Shopify, Amazon, 3PLs), identify where you owe tax, and automate filings—before audits, penalties, or exit due diligence destroy value.Never Respond to State Notices AloneIf you receive a tax letter, pause and consult a CPA or tax attorney immediately. One wrong reply can trigger audits or liabilities—set up systems to track and manage every notice.Use AI + Niche Search Data to Find Your Next WinnersMine long-tail search queries (e.g., highly specific gift or use-case terms) and build modular products around them. Optimize content for AI-driven search and answer engines to capture emerging buyer intent.Resources mentioned in this episode:Josh Hadley on LinkedIneComm Breakthrough ConsultingeComm Breakthrough PodcastEmail Josh Hadley: Josh@eCommBreakthrough.comNumeralShopifyAmazonEtsyTaxJarAvalaraJungle ScoutChatGPTWhoop BandTikTok ShopInfluence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert CialdiniChad Janis (Grüns)Sam Ross on TwitterSam Ross on LinkedInSpecial Mention(s):Adam “Heist” Runquist on LinkedInKevin King on LinkedIn

Miranda Nover is the Co-founder and CEO of Fort Health. Fort builds wearables that automatically track strength training for people who care about longevity.This is a new format I'm experimenting with. It's the first time I've had a Banana portfolio company founder on the show while they're still at the pre-seed stage. When I surveyed my subscribers a few weeks ago, you were most interested in more early stage VC-backed founders, and I'd love your feedback on what you think of this.Miranda is still very much working through the idea maze and iterating on the Fort product. We talk about the megatrends driving consumer health, why she's building a company that helps people get stronger, and everything she's learned getting a hardware company off the ground.She's also in the middle of the current YC batch, and gives an inside look at what it's been like and if she'd recommend it to other founders.Thank you to Numeral and Flex for supporting this episode.Try Numeral, the end-to-end platform for sales tax and compliance: https://www.numeral.comSign-up for Flex Elite with code TURNER, get $1,000: https://form.typeform.com/to/Rx9rTjFzTimestamps:(3:37) Importance of strength training(6:34) Benefits of being strong(10:37) Evolution of Fort's hardware(15:58) Automating workout tracking(19:29) Two types of strength trainers(25:30) Building the strength company(27:26) How healthcare is consumerizing(40:43) Lessons building batteries at Tesla(44:56) Hardest parts about building a hardware startup(51:01) Adventures in vibe coding(57:54) How to use Twitter as a founder(1:02:09) The launch video industrial complex(1:08:03) What it's like doing YC(1:10:19) Selling crayons in 3rd grade, Lemonade stands(1:14:41) Miranda's best vintage finds(1:16:44) How Turner evolved as a VC(1:22:22) Turner's early social media PMF(1:28:53) Inventing shitpostingReferencedTry Fort: https://www.fort.cx/Follow MirandaTwitter: https://x.com/mirandanoverLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mirandanoverFollow TurnerTwitter: https://twitter.com/TurnerNovakLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/turnernovakSubscribe to my newsletter to get every episode + the transcript in your inbox every week: https://www.thespl.it/

Filip Kaliszan is the Founder & CEO of Verkada, the physical security company.Verkada started in 2016 by building the best camera for physical security teams, and has since evolved into a full suite of security products for buildings. Filip takes us inside Verkada's rapid growth to almost a billion in annual revenue, over 2,000 employees, and raising capital from investors like Sequoia, Meritech, First Round, General Catalyst, and Next47.We get into how AI and LLMs are changing hardware, the power of customer therapy, how Filip iterated on early startup ideas, inside Verkada's very difficult first funding round, how signing their first big customers changed the trajectory of the business, and how to think about adding new products over time.We also talk through Verkada's commitment to in-person work in the summer of 2020, how you should evaluate joining a startup as an employee, Verkada's “software zero” employee bonus policy, and building a rooftop bar for the office.Thanks to Numeral for supporting this episode, the end-to-end platform for sales tax and compliance.

Ofek Lavian is the Co-founder and CEO of Forage, the mission driven payments company.This is a special episode, because I'm an investor in Forage, and Ofek shares everything he's learned building the company. We go deep on food stamps, also known as EBT or SNAP, the government program that provides over $200 billion dollars per year in benefits that help 42 million low income Americans buy food.Our conversation gets into lessons from Ofek's time leading payments teams at Uber and Instacart, building Instacart's EBT program up to 40 employees and 10% of its total revenue, and why Ofek is so passionate about helping low income Americans.We get into the history of food stamps, market dynamics that led to low online adoption, the days Ofek thought Forage might not make it all the way to now working with the biggest players in online grocery, like Uber and DoorDash, and the long-term opportunity Forage has to build the rails the government uses to distribute trillions of dollars of restricted consumer benefits.Thanks to Numeral for supporting this episode, the end-to-end platform for sales tax and compliance.
