SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 14, 2025--
Landbase, the agentic AI company transforming how businesses grow, today announced its acquisition of Adauris, the startup creating custom intent signals through content generation, leveraged by B2B companies to identify, engage, and convert high-intent leads through distributed content. The acquisition further accelerates Landbase’s expansion into AI-native inbound, with the Adauris team already behind the release of Landbase’s first inbound marketing feature.

This announcement follows Landbase’s $30M Series A and strengthens its position as the first platform to unify outbound and inbound automation. Landbase has seen rapid adoption since its initial launch, and the acquisition of Adauris is the latest in a series of moves to rapidly expand the platform’s capabilities and lead the category in AI GTM. Landbase’s CEO, Daniel Saks, coined the term Vibe AI to describe a new software paradigm where users describe what they want in natural language, and intelligent, agentic systems handle the execution to turn intent into outcomes without the need for complex interfaces or manual workflows.
“We’re building the future of GTM: intelligent, connected, and deeply multimodal,” said Daniel Saks, CEO of Landbase. “The Adauris team brings the technical depth and GTM insight to supercharge our inbound roadmap. Together, we’re launching high-impact entry points like signal-based LinkedIn publishing and laying the foundation for AI-powered marketing channels that will complement our existing outbound capabilities.”
Adauris’ work on content-driven lead generation directly supports Landbase’s vision for signal-based GTM. The Adauris team previously built high-intent signal infrastructure used across niche B2B media networks, reaching 10M+ monthly impressions and identifying 45,000+ prospects per day.
These capabilities will now plug directly into GTM-1 Omni, Landbase’s agentic AI model and orchestration engine — unlocking new signal types that drive both outbound and inbound performance in the Landbase platform.
With the acquisition, Landbase gains a founding team deeply experienced in building inbound infrastructure and growth systems:
“We joined Landbase because it’s solving a critical market pain point: providing a unified approach to GTM, and combining inbound and outbound into single omni-channel campaigns,” said Underwood. “We saw the power of Landbase as a customer and a partner, and the impact is undeniable. We couldn’t be more excited to join forces to accelerate the pace of autonomous GTM.”
The Adauris team has already spearheaded the platform’s first marketing-facing feature for LinkedIn thought leadership posting, which helps GTM teams post signal-based, brand-led content, track real-time buyer engagement, and warm the market — all from within the Landbase platform.
“Everyone wants more visibility, but most teams don’t know what to say or who’s listening,” said Haertel. “This feature makes it easy to publish with purpose and connect content to demand, and it’s just the beginning of Landbase’s inbound roadmap.”
This is the first of several new marketing features planned for the Landbase platform, as it evolves into the operating system for GTM. Future updates will extend Landbase’s inbound capabilities with more publishing channels, engagement analytics, and signal-based content automation.

A federal appeals panel on Thursday reversed a lower court decision that released former Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil from an immigration jail, bringing the government one step closer to detaining and ultimately deporting the Palestinian activist.
The three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals didn’t decide the key issue in Khalil’s case: whether the Trump administration’s effort to throw Khalil out of the U.S. over his campus activism and criticism of Israel is unconstitutional.
But in its 2-1 decision, the panel ruled a federal judge in New Jersey didn’t have jurisdiction to decide the matter at this time. Federal law requires the case to fully move through the immigration courts first, before Khalil can challenge the decision, they wrote.
“That scheme ensures that petitioners get just one bite at the apple — not zero or two,” the panel wrote. “But it also means that some petitioners, like Khalil, will have to wait to seek relief for allegedly unlawful government conduct.”
Thursday’s decision marked a major win for the Trump administration’s sweeping campaign to detain and deport noncitizens who joined protests against Israel.
Tricia McLaughlin, a Homeland Security Department spokesperson, called the ruling “a vindication of the rule of law.”
In a statement, she said the department will “work to enforce his lawful removal order” and encouraged Khalil to “self-deport now before he is arrested, deported, and never given a chance to return.”
It was not clear whether the government would seek to detain Khalil, a legal permanent resident, again while his legal challenges continue.
In a statement distributed by the American Civil Liberties Union, Khalil called the appeals ruling “deeply disappointing."
“The door may have been opened for potential re-detainment down the line, but it has not closed our commitment to Palestine and to justice and accountability," he said. "I will continue to fight, through every legal avenue and with every ounce of determination, until my rights, and the rights of others like me, are fully protected.”
Baher Azmy, one of Khalil's lawyers, said the ruling was “contrary to rulings of other federal courts."
“Our legal options are by no means concluded, and we will fight with every available avenue,” he said.
The ACLU said the Trump administration cannot lawfully re-detain Khalil until the order takes formal effect, which won't happen while he can still immediately appeal.
Khalil’s lawyers can request that the panel's decision be set aside and the matter reconsidered by a larger group of judges on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, or they can go to the U.S. Supreme Court.
An outspoken leader of the pro-Palestinian movement at Columbia, Khalil was arrested last March. He then spent three months detained in a Louisiana immigration jail, missing the birth of his first child.
Federal officials have accused Khalil of leading activities “aligned to Hamas,” though they have not presented evidence to support the claim and have not accused him of criminal conduct. They also accused Khalil, 31, of failing to disclose information on his green card application.
The government justified the arrest under a seldom-used statute that allows for the expulsion of noncitizens whose beliefs are deemed to pose a threat to U.S. foreign policy interests.
In June, a federal judge in New Jersey ruled that justification would likely be declared unconstitutional and ordered Khalil released.
President Donald Trump's administration appealed that ruling, arguing the deportation decision should fall to an immigration judge, rather than a federal court.
Khalil has dismissed the allegations as “baseless and ridiculous,” framing his arrest and detention as a “direct consequence of exercising my right to free speech as I advocated for a free Palestine and an end to the genocide in Gaza.”
New York City’s new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, said on social media Thursday that Khalil should remain free.
“Last year’s arrest of Mahmoud Khalil was more than just a chilling act of political repression, it was an attack on all of our constitutional rights,” Mamdani wrote on X. “Now, as the crackdown on pro-Palestinian free speech continues, Mahmoud is being threatened with rearrest. Mahmoud is free — and must remain free.”
Judge Arianna Freeman dissented Thursday, writing that her colleagues were holding Khalil to the wrong legal standard. Khalil, she wrote, is raising “now-or-never claims” that can be handled at the district court level, even though his immigration case isn't complete.
Both judges who ruled against Khalil, Thomas Hardiman and Stephanos Bibas, were Republican appointees. President George W. Bush appointed Hardiman to the 3rd Circuit, while Trump appointed Bibas. President Joe Biden, a Democrat, appointed Freeman.
The two-judge majority rejected Freeman's worry that their decision would leave Khalil with no remedy for unconstitutional immigration detention, even if he later can appeal.
“But our legal system routinely forces petitioners — even those with meritorious claims — to wait to raise their arguments," the judges wrote.
The decision comes as an appeals board in the immigration court system weighs a previous order that found Khalil could be deported to Algeria, where he maintains citizenship through a distant relative, or Syria, where he was born in a refugee camp to a Palestinian family.
His attorneys have said he faces mortal danger if forced to return to either country.
