Clodo

Product Introduction

1. Definition: Clodo is an AI-powered B2B sales intelligence and outbound automation platform (technical category: Sales Engagement & Prospecting SaaS). It leverages real-time web signals and large language models (LLMs) to identify, qualify, and engage high-intent buyers.
2. Core Value Proposition: Clodo eliminates inefficient manual prospecting and generic outreach by automating high-intent B2B lead generation, deep contact enrichment, and hyper-personalized outbound messaging at scale. Its core promise is "Vibe GTM" – executing go-to-market strategies based on real-time buyer signals and intent.

Main Features

1. Deep Search & Intent-Based Prospecting:
   How it works: Users input natural language prompts (e.g., "Compliance leaders at Series A-B fintechs nearing SEC requirements"). Clodo's AI engine scours real-time data sources (SEC filings, Crunchbase, LinkedIn, job boards, review sites, news) using semantic search and entity recognition. It identifies prospects matching the specific intent and firmographic/technographic criteria.
   Technologies: Semantic NLP processing, real-time web crawling, entity resolution, data enrichment APIs.

2. Automated Contact Enrichment & Signal Aggregation:
   How it works: Clodo automatically enriches identified leads with verified contact data (email, phone) and aggregates 50+ contextual signals per contact. Signals include job changes, funding events (amount, round, date), hiring sprees, tech stack mentions, social activity (e.g., G2 reviews, LinkedIn posts), interview mentions, and budget authority indicators.
   Technologies: Data aggregation pipelines, email verification APIs, signal classification algorithms, continuous monitoring.

3. AI-Powered Lead Scoring & Ranking:
   How it works: Every lead is automatically scored based on fit (matching prompt criteria) and intent signals (e.g., active hiring, tool evaluation posts, recent funding). Users can upload CSV lists for scoring or use Clodo-sourced leads. The platform ranks prospects, surfacing the highest-intent opportunities (e.g., "BULLSEYE" leads).
   Technologies: Predictive scoring models, weighted signal analysis, fit vs. intent algorithms.

4. Personalized Outbound Automation (Copilot):
   How it works: Generates unique, non-templated email copy for each prospect by synthesizing enriched data points and signals (e.g., referencing a specific G2 review or hiring post). Users can execute multi-touch sequences (intro, follow-up, check-in) directly within Clodo or via the LinkedIn Copilot Chrome extension. Sequences auto-schedule based on optimal timing.
   Technologies: LLMs (GPT-class models) for contextual copy generation, sequence automation engine, browser extension API integration.

5. LinkedIn Outbound Analytics & Copilot:
   How it works: The Chrome extension allows users to qualify leads, draft personalized intros, and autocomplete messages directly within LinkedIn profiles using Clodo's enrichment data. Tracks LinkedIn-specific outreach performance.
   Technologies: Browser extension SDK, LinkedIn DOM parsing, real-time data injection.

Problems Solved

1. Pain Point: Manual B2B prospecting is slow, inaccurate, and fails to capture real-time buyer intent signals, leading to low lead quality and wasted sales effort.
2. Target Audience: Sales leaders (VP Sales, Sales Ops), growth marketers, and founders at B2B SaaS companies (especially Series A+), SDR teams, boutique sales agencies. Key personas: Fintech/RegTech sales targeting compliance leaders, sales teams targeting specific ICPs in competitive markets.
3. Use Cases:
   • Rapidly building targeted lead lists for new markets/verticals (e.g., "RIA firms with SEC exam in 6 months").
   • Identifying and engaging prospects actively showing buying signals (evaluating tools, hiring relevant roles, recent funding).
   • Replacing generic email blasts with scalable, research-driven personalized outreach.
   • Accelerating outbound execution for startups and agencies with limited research resources.

Unique Advantages

1. Differentiation: Unlike broad databases (ZoomInfo, Apollo.io) or basic sales engagement tools (Outreach, Salesloft), Clodo combines real-time intent signal aggregation with prompt-based prospecting and LLM-generated contextual outreach. It focuses on actionable "Vibes" (signals) rather than static lists. Competitors lack its depth of signal integration and prompt-driven specificity.
2. Key Innovation: The "Vibe GTM" engine – using natural language prompts to dynamically source leads based on a constantly updated corpus of real-time web signals, coupled with AI that generates outreach derived exclusively from these specific signals (no generic templates).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What data sources does Clodo use for B2B lead generation?
   Clodo aggregates real-time signals from SEC/EDGAR filings, Crunchbase, LinkedIn profiles & activity, company websites, job boards (e.g., Rippling Careers), tech review sites (e.g., G2), news publications (e.g., TechCrunch), and public social posts, covering over 50 distinct intent signals.

2. How does Clodo ensure email deliverability and avoid spam?
   Clodo prioritizes "tasteful outbound" by generating highly personalized, context-rich messages based on specific prospect signals (not templates), significantly improving relevance and reducing spam flags. It includes email verification and enforces user-based sending limits aligned with best practices.

3. Can Clodo integrate with my existing CRM or sales stack?
   The Pro and Enterprise plans offer custom integrations (e.g., via API). The Enterprise tier specifically includes pre-built and custom CRM integrations (like Salesforce, HubSpot) and SAML/SSO for secure authentication.

4. How accurate is Clodo's lead scoring and intent data?
   Clodo's AI scoring uses weighted analysis of 50+ verified signals (funding, hiring, tech stack, reviews) and direct profile enrichment. Accuracy is high for specific, prompt-defined ICPs (e.g., "Series A-B Fintech Compliance Leaders") due to its focus on structured public data and real-time updates.

5. What makes Clodo different from Apollo.io or ZoomInfo?
   Clodo focuses on real-time intent signals and prompt-based dynamic list building, whereas Apollo/ZoomInfo are primarily static contact databases with basic filters. Clodo automates hyper-personalized outreach generation based on specific signals, while competitors rely on manual research and templated emails.
