"Tech Finance" with Sasha Orloff · 2026-01-07 · 36 min
In this episode, Sasha Orloff sits down with Sam Ross, co-founder and CEO of Numeral and former product leader at Teespring and Airbnb, about raising Series B funding from Mayfield (following Benchmark's Series A and Uncork's seed) to build what he calls "the most boring AI company" - an end-to-end sales tax automation platform that uses AI to eliminate the manual burden of multi-state and international tax compliance for e-commerce and SaaS businesses, transforming a traditionally services-heavy industry into a fully automated solution that handles everything from nexus analysis and registration to filings and government correspondence. - SPONSORS: Notion Boost your startup with Notion - the ultimate connected workspace trusted by thousands worldwide!
