Phoenix, Arizona
Hi. I’m Scott Salkin.
I'm a founder, marketer, operator, and dad who's spent the last 20 years building B2B companies and teams. Now I'm building Duet, a place where humans and AI grow companies together.
About
I've built brands, teams, and categories for more than 20 years. But the next one is my favorite.
My career has lived where marketing, sales, and technology collide. I founded Allbound to make partner-led growth a first-class motion for B2B software, led it for nearly a decade, and carried the work forward as CMO of Gainsight after the acquisition.
Along the way I've been recognized as Top 35 Entrepreneur Under 35 by the Arizona Republic, 40 Under 40 by the Phoenix Business Journal, and Marketer of the Year by the BMA. But the titles I've been proudest of are husband, dad, and teammate.
Now I'm building for the moment when AI stops being a tool and starts being a collaborator. It's already here.
What I'm building
Duet
Humans and AI, in harmony.
Duet is a workspace for AI-native marketing teams that's named for how it works: AI teammates and human operators playing in sync, planning, producing, and scaling demand, product marketing, and go-to-market at a tempo the old stack can't keep.
We're building it for B2B leaders and marketers who want leverage without giving up the craft. If that sounds like you or your team, let's talk.
