Clodo

The second major feature group is contact enrichment and verification. Once Clodo identifies a matching person, it enriches that profile with verified work email, mobile phone, LinkedIn URL, current title, company metadata, and any relevant buying or hiring signals. Enrichment runs across hundreds of sources in parallel, ensuring the data is fresh rather than pulled from a stale snapshot. Users can also upload their own lists for bulk enrichment. This feature directly addresses a common pain point: finding email addresses that bounce or are outdated. By providing verified contact information, Clodo enables immediate outreach without needing to switch to a separate enrichment tool like Clay or Apollo. The enriched data also includes contextual signals, so users know not just who the person is but why they are a good fit and what their current intent might be.

The third feature group encompasses outbound campaigns and pipeline management. Clodo can handle lead generation end-to-end: sourcing the right people, qualifying them against the ideal customer profile, capturing intent signals as they happen (funding rounds, hiring sprees, role changes, SEC filings), and triggering personalized outbound when a lead heats up. Users can send personalized emails directly from the platform, with the system tracking open rates and reply rates—as evidenced by the demo showing 127 sent, 68% opened, 15% replied. Clodo also integrates with CRM and ATS systems like Salesforce, HubSpot, Bullhorn, and Zoho, so the discovered people land where the team already works. For teams that prefer to manage pipeline in their existing tools, Clodo acts as a feeding and grading layer rather than a replacement, enriching CRM records with fresh signals and contacts.

The overall workflow in Clodo is designed to be intuitive and fast. Users start by describing their target persona in plain English, specifying any combination of role, industry, company size, geography, signals, and timing. Clodo then searches the live web and hundreds of proprietary datasets in real time, cross-referencing multiple sources to find individuals that match the description. Each match is qualified against the user's criteria and returned in a ranked list, with signals and fit scores clearly displayed. The user can then select the best matches to enrich with verified contact details, and either export the list to a CRM or initiate outreach directly from Clodo. This streamlined process eliminates the back-and-forth between LinkedIn, Crunchbase, ZoomInfo, and Gmail, turning a multi-day research project into a few minutes of work.

Concrete use cases demonstrate Clodo's versatility. For sourcing and placement agencies, Clodo builds hyper-relevant candidate and client pipelines, such as finding bench scientists with specific publication records and contract preferences—resulting in bullseye matches like a senior bench scientist who left Exact Sciences two months ago. For go-to-market teams, it enables precise prospecting: a user seeking compliance leaders at fintechs got 47 matching profiles, each with signals like active tool evaluation and budget authority, one of whom replied and led to a potential $1M+ ARR contract. Expert networks use Clodo to source sector veterans for consultation calls, while manufacturing firms reach plant managers and procurement decision-makers. Reinforcement learning projects use it to find domain experts to produce and verify training data. Outcomes include faster time to first contact, higher reply rates, and immediate ROI like booked demos within hours of using the platform.

Clodo is built for expert sourcing, recruiting, and go-to-market teams at enterprises and high-growth startups. Specific roles include sales development representatives, talent acquisition specialists, headhunters, market researchers, investment analysts, compliance officers, and founders who need to find the right people quickly. The platform works entirely in the browser and is compliant with SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA, and DSGVO standards, making it suitable for regulated industries. It offers direct engineering support and enterprise-grade reliability with high rate limits and US-based infrastructure. While Clodo can be used for any people-search need, its strength lies in niche, high-intent discovery where filters fail. Pricing is available via demo, and the platform is backed by Y Combinator. In summary, Clodo's AI lead discovery platform provides a fast, accurate, and comprehensive layer for finding and reaching the exact people that drive business outcomes.
