AI Lead Generation: Three Engines, One Pipeline
Vendo AI generates leads three ways at once: live buying signals from 18 sources, an AI-searchable database of 700,000+ verified B2B contacts on top of 4M+ companies, and a marketplace of ready-made, fresh lead sets. All three feed the same outreach and CRM.
Generate Your First LeadsWhy One Lead Source Is Never Enough
Different deals start in different places. Cover all of them.
Databases age, signals don’t
A static contact list decays ~30% a year. Live signals — funding, hiring, leadership changes — are by definition current.
Signals are scarce, databases are deep
Some ICPs emit few public signals. For them, an AI-filtered 700K-contact database delivers volume on demand.
Building lists takes days
Describe your ideal customer in chat — keyword, exact or semantic search returns a scored audience in seconds.
Bought lists are a lottery
Marketplace sets show a 200-contact preview before purchase, cost a flat 2 credits per contact, and every contact has a verified email.
Leads without context convert poorly
Every SDR-generated lead carries its full story: which hunter found it, from which signal, why it fits your ICP.
The Three Engines
Use one, two, or all three — they share outreach and CRM.
Signal engine (Vendo SDR)
18 hunter sources watch LinkedIn, job boards, GitHub, registries, funding news, reviews and the open web — and turn signals into enriched decision-makers, 24/7.
Database engine (AI Assistant)
Chat your ICP: "CTOs at fintech companies in Germany with 11–50 employees" — the AI searches 700K+ people / 4M+ companies and returns a scored audience.
Marketplace engine (Audience Sets)
Ready-made sets by industry, country and seniority — including Fresh Signal sets rebuilt daily from live SDR data.
Enrichment
Contacts are completed with validated corporate emails (DNS-checked, spam-safe), LinkedIn profiles and real avatars.
Outreach
Any audience flows into multi-channel campaigns: email, LinkedIn, voice.
CRM
Interested replies become leads automatically — with the full origin story attached.

Generate Your First LeadsFrequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about ai lead generation.
What is AI lead generation?
Using AI to find, qualify and enrich potential customers automatically. Vendo AI combines three methods: monitoring live buying signals across 18 sources, AI-powered search over a 700K+ contact database, and a marketplace of pre-built lead sets — all feeding one outreach and CRM pipeline.
Where do the leads come from?
From public buying signals (hiring, funding, leadership changes, tech switches, reviews), from Vendo’s own verified contact database, and from your uploads. Every SDR lead shows exactly which source and signal produced it.
How much does a lead cost?
A quality-gated SDR contact is 5 credits (~$0.05); a marketplace contact is a flat 2 credits; database audience searches are 5–7 credits per search. No per-seat pricing.
Are the emails verified?
Yes — corporate emails are validated with DNS/MX checks before a contact is billed (spam-safe, no SMTP probing). Marketplace sets only include contacts with emails.
Can I try the data before paying?
Marketplace sets open into a 200-contact preview with masked last names, and SDR contacts classified "not a fit" are visible free of charge — you judge quality before spending.
How fresh are the leads?
Signal leads decay hourly by design — the system prioritizes events from the last days and drops stale ones. Fresh marketplace sets are rebuilt daily from the last 30 days of live signals.
