Clevenio

Clevenio, a Finnish sales engagement software startup, was founded in 2023 by Aleksi Halsas and is headquartered in Jyväskylä. The company initially operated under the name Salesled.io starting in April 2022, focusing on consulting for B2B sales to fund its software development, before rebranding to Clevenio to concentrate on its SaaS business. The founder, Aleksi Halsas, who serves as the CEO, has a background in both marketing for B2C and B2B audiences and software development. This experience informs the company's approach to solving key inefficiencies in the sales process.

The company operates in the B2B sales technology market, providing a platform designed to automate and streamline the initial stages of the sales process for business development and sales teams. Clevenio's business model is based on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription, offering several pricing plans for its sales application and separate databases. The platform aims to significantly reduce the time sales representatives spend on non-selling activities like list building and account research, thereby increasing their focus on active selling.

Clevenio's core product is an AI-powered sales engagement platform that offers a suite of tools to enhance sales productivity. Its features include multi-channel outreach capabilities across email, calls, LinkedIn, and SMS, automated follow-up sequences, and real-time analytics to track campaign performance. The platform also provides a pipeline management tool, outreach segmentation, and an AI-powered message writer to generate personalized cold emails. A key component is the 'Target Group Builder,' which integrates data to provide a more comprehensive market coverage than single databases, aiming for 80-90% coverage. The company has secured pre-seed funding from investors including Gorilla Capital and Sofokus to accelerate product development for larger markets.
