The raise also included strong participation from other existing backers, including 8VC, A*, Firstminute Capital and TheGP, underscoring continued conviction in Landbase's growth and mission.

The new funding will support Landbase's continued investment in GTM-1 Omni, its proprietary domain-specific AI model, and accelerate its mission to make go-to-market (GTM) faster, cheaper and better for every B2B business. Landbase helps B2B companies find their next customer by generating highly personalized sales campaigns using predictive intelligence. With just a prompt, businesses can target the right audience, create tailored messages optimized to close and launch campaigns across channels.
'We've seen real momentum because the challenge is universal — every business needs to grow, but most don't have an easy way to start,' said Daniel Saks, co-founder and CEO of Landbase. 'Landbase gives teams a simple, fast way to find their next customer. With this funding, we're excited to bring that capability to even more businesses looking to scale smarter.'
Landbase was founded by seasoned entrepreneurs including Saks, co-founder and former co-CEO of unicorn AppDirect; Emily Zhang, founding Chief Product Officer at unicorn OysterHR; and Hua Gao, founding Chief Data Scientist of Sequoia & Lightspeed-backed Everstring, which was acquired by ZoomInfo. The company is powered by a high-density team of builders, including Stanford grads, PhDs, GTM leaders and over one-third of employees who have previously founded companies.
Landbase has experienced 825% revenue growth since the beginning of the year, scaling to 150 paid customers since launch. By optimizing targeting and messaging through reinforcement learning, GTM-1 Omni delivers a 4–7x conversion uplift compared to manual, human-built campaigns. Since debuting its new Campaign Feed in April, Landbase has reduced average campaign launch times from 14 days to just minutes. Before Landbase, teams often spent months coordinating across tools; now, powered by GTM-1 Omni and agentic AI, they can launch hyper-targeted, omnichannel campaigns nearly instantly.
With a track record of spotting and backing generational hits — from producing entertainment icons to investing early in Airbnb, Uber, OpenAI and Anthropic — Sound Ventures sees Landbase as the next category-defining platform in the emerging AI GTM space.
'Landbase makes one of the hardest parts of building a business feel simple,' said Guy Oseary, Co-Founder of Sound Ventures. 'They're not just solving outbound — they're building the foundational platform for how modern companies grow.'
Just as 2025 has seen the rise of vibe coding tools to democratize engineering for non-coders, Landbase is pioneering a similar vibe AI experience for GTM — calling it VibeGTM. To make this experience accessible to every business, Landbase is now available to preview for free, allowing any company to find their ideal customers and tailor the perfect message.

Nvidia (NVDA) Could Hit $5 Trillion as Analysts Lift Price Targets
Nvidia (NVDA, Financials) is drawing fresh bullish forecasts after a rapid five-year rally, with analysts now predicting the chipmaker could grow into a $5 trillion company. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. Shares have climbed more than 3,000% over the past five years, and are currently trading near all-time highs. Rosenblatt Securities analyst Hans Mosesmann maintained a $200 price target this week, while UBS and Goldman Sachs pointed to Nvidia's dominant position in AI hardware as reason for long-term upside. Nvidia controls more than 80% of the AI accelerator market and reported a 427% year-over-year jump in data center revenue in its latest quarter. That segment is critical to generative AI and cloud infrastructure buildouts, bolstering Nvidia's top line and free cash flow which now exceeds Amazon's. The company's proprietary CUDA software, tight integration with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., and leading-edge GPUs like the H100 and upcoming Blackwell series reinforce its pricing power and market moat. Nvidia also reported more than $14 billion in quarterly profits, helping justify its $2.9 trillion market cap as of June 18. A doubling in valuation would place it in direct competition with Apple (AAPL, Financials) and Microsoft (MSFT, Financials) as the world's most valuable public firm. Nvidia trades at over 40x forward earnings, raising valuation concerns. Analysts are also monitoring geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China, which could impact Nvidia's chip exports and manufacturing pipeline. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD, Financials) and Intel (INTC, Financials) continue to invest in AI chips, although they currently trail Nvidia on execution. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Tech-fueled misinformation distorts Iran-Israel fighting
AI deepfakes, video game footage passed off as real combat, and chatbot-generated falsehoods -- such tech-enabled misinformation is distorting the Israel-Iran conflict, fueling a war of narratives across social media. The information warfare unfolding alongside ground combat -- sparked by Israel's strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities and military leadership -- underscores a digital crisis in the age of rapidly advancing AI tools that have blurred the lines between truth and fabrication. The surge in wartime misinformation has exposed an urgent need for stronger detection tools, experts say, as major tech platforms have largely weakened safeguards by scaling back content moderation and reducing reliance on human fact-checkers. After Iran struck Israel with barrages of missiles last week, AI-generated videos falsely claimed to show damage inflicted on Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion Airport. The videos were widely shared across Facebook, Instagram and X. Using a reverse image search, AFP's fact-checkers found that the clips were originally posted by a TikTok account that produces AI-generated content. There has been a "surge in generative AI misinformation, specifically related to the Iran-Israel conflict," Ken Jon Miyachi, founder of the Austin-based firm BitMindAI, told AFP. "These tools are being leveraged to manipulate public perception, often amplifying divisive or misleading narratives with unprecedented scale and sophistication." - 'Photo-realism' - GetReal Security, a US company focused on detecting manipulated media including AI deepfakes, also identified a wave of fabricated videos related to the Israel-Iran conflict. The company linked the visually compelling videos -- depicting apocalyptic scenes of war-damaged Israeli aircraft and buildings as well as Iranian missiles mounted on a trailer -- to Google's Veo 3 AI generator, known for hyper-realistic visuals. The Veo watermark is visible at the bottom of an online video posted by the news outlet Tehran Times, which claims to show "the moment an Iranian missile" struck Tel Aviv. "It is no surprise that as generative-AI tools continue to improve in photo-realism, they are being misused to spread misinformation and sow confusion," said Hany Farid, the co-founder of GetReal Security and a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. Farid offered one tip to spot such deepfakes: the Veo 3 videos were normally eight seconds in length or a combination of clips of a similar duration. "This eight-second limit obviously doesn't prove a video is fake, but should be a good reason to give you pause and fact-check before you re-share," he said. The falsehoods are not confined to social media. Disinformation watchdog NewsGuard has identified 51 websites that have advanced more than a dozen false claims -- ranging from AI-generated photos purporting to show mass destruction in Tel Aviv to fabricated reports of Iran capturing Israeli pilots. Sources spreading these false narratives include Iranian military-linked Telegram channels and state media sources affiliated with the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), sanctioned by the US Treasury Department, NewsGuard said. - 'Control the narrative' - "We're seeing a flood of false claims and ordinary Iranians appear to be the core targeted audience," McKenzie Sadeghi, a researcher with NewsGuard, told AFP. Sadeghi described Iranian citizens as "trapped in a sealed information environment," where state media outlets dominate in a chaotic attempt to "control the narrative." Iran itself claimed to be a victim of tech manipulation, with local media reporting that Israel briefly hacked a state television broadcast, airing footage of women's protests and urging people to take to the streets. Adding to the information chaos were online clips lifted from war-themed video games. AFP's fact-checkers identified one such clip posted on X, which falsely claimed to show an Israeli jet being shot down by Iran. The footage bore striking similarities to the military simulation game Arma 3. Israel's military has rejected Iranian media reports claiming its fighter jets were downed over Iran as "fake news." Chatbots such as xAI's Grok, which online users are increasingly turning to for instant fact-checking, falsely identified some of the manipulated visuals as real, researchers said. "This highlights a broader crisis in today's online information landscape: the erosion of trust in digital content," BitMindAI's Miyachi said. "There is an urgent need for better detection tools, media literacy, and platform accountability to safeguard the integrity of public discourse." burs-ac/jgc
