Event Intelligence Platform for B2B Marketers

Vendelux helps B2B event marketers identify high-value attendees and pre-book meetings using verified data and human outreach.

Build

Event marketers have a clear pain point: they waste time and money on events with low ROI because they lack data on who's attending. Vendelux solves this by providing verified attendee lists and human-led meeting booking. The challenge is distribution—breaking into an established workflow where event teams rely on spreadsheets and manual research. Trust is critical: marketers need to believe the data is accurate and the outreach won't damage their brand. For this to work, Vendelux must prove it can consistently deliver high-quality meetings that justify its cost.
