Clodo

Clodo's second major feature is its multi-source search and enrichment engine. Rather than relying on a single database, Clodo scans the live web plus hundreds of proprietary datasets simultaneously. Sources include LinkedIn, GitHub, bioRxiv, PubMed, and many more, giving a comprehensive view of each person's professional footprint. Every profile is enriched with verified work email, mobile phone, LinkedIn URL, current title, company metadata, and buying signals. Enrichment runs in parallel across multiple sources to ensure freshness—data is not pulled from a cached snapshot but gathered in real time. This multi-source approach solves the common pain point of incomplete or outdated contact information. For example, a search for senior bench scientists yields profile details with direct emails and signals like recent job changes, publications, or open-source contributions, enabling immediate and personalized outreach.

Beyond discovery and enrichment, Clodo offers outbound and pipeline automation capabilities. Users can push their curated lists directly to CRM or ATS integrations, including Salesforce, HubSpot, Bullhorn, Zoho, and more. Clodo can also capture real-time intent signals—such as funding rounds, hiring sprees, role changes, and SEC filings—and trigger automated outbound campaigns when a lead heats up. This end-to-end workflow allows teams to manage the entire pipe from sourcing to outreach within a single platform. The system can run personalized email sequences based on the signals it gathered, making each message contextually relevant. As one user reported, "Your emails are so hyper specific. I got a response for a potential $1m+ ARR contract." This automation significantly reduces manual follow-up and increases response rates, turning discovery into revenue.

Clodo's workflow is elegantly simple: describe, search, qualify, reach. Users begin by typing a detailed natural language description of their target persona—including role, industry, skills, signals, and timing. Clodo's AI interprets this description and immediately launches a real-time search across the open web and hundreds of proprietary datasets. It returns a ranked list of individuals, each enriched with verified contact details and the signals that qualified them. Users can review the matches, refine the query, or export the list to their CRM. For pipeline automation, Clodo can continuously monitor for new matches and intent signals, then automatically trigger outbound sequences. This approach eliminates the need for multiple tools, manual data assembly, and guesswork. The entire process, from persona definition to first outreach, can be completed in minutes rather than days.

Concrete use cases demonstrate Clodo's impact across industries. In recruiting, a company seeking senior bench scientists with wet lab and machine learning experience, open to part-time contracting and recently at Lilly, Novo, or Exact Sciences, found 47 matching candidates in minutes—each with verified contact info and research signals from PubMed and GitHub. In sales prospecting, a user landed a meeting with a Fortune 500 CFO within hours of using Clodo, calling it "by far the most practical and useful tool for people search." Another team booked two demos within two hours of launching a campaign. A Y Combinator-backed startup used Clodo to generate a potential $1M+ ARR contract through hyper-specific outreach. These outcomes highlight Clodo's ability to accelerate velocity in niche verticals, improve response rates, and deliver measurable ROI.

Clodo is designed for expert sourcing, recruiting, and prospecting teams at both startups and large enterprises. Typical users include talent acquisition specialists, sales development representatives, growth marketers, and market researchers. The platform is offered as a web application with native integrations for Salesforce, Dynamics, HubSpot, Bullhorn, Zoho, and other CRMs/ATSs. It also provides an API for custom workflows. On the security side, Clodo is CASA Tier 2 certified and complies with SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA, and DSGVO standards, with US-based high-availability infrastructure and direct engineering support. While specific pricing is not disclosed, the platform is accessed via a demo booking. In summary, Clodo is the planet-scale people discovery layer that makes finding and reaching the right people fast, reliable, and dramatically more efficient.
