Job description

Vendelux is transforming how companies discover, evaluate, and maximize the impact of events.

Event marketers are the driving force behind pipeline and brand — yet events remain one of the least optimized and most opaque marketing channels. Vendelux changes that. We provide the system of record for event marketing, giving teams the data and insights they need to make smarter, more strategic decisions.

Our AI-powered platform delivers proprietary insights across 250,000+ events, helping high-growth companies identify where their ideal customers will be, maximize ROI, and turn events into a scalable growth channel. Customers often describe Vendelux as an event marketer’s dream. A key part of this is our growing network of event organizer partnerships — where organizers share first‑party attendee and sponsorship data, and in return gain access to valuable market insights.

In addition, Vendelux Meetings helps customers turn event insights into action — using AI to identify high‑value attendees and automatically book 1:1 meetings with the right prospects at conferences. This allows teams to maximize pipeline generation and make every event materially more impactful.

Founded in 2021, Vendelux is a Series A SaaS company backed by leading investors including FirstMark, with a recent $14M round. Our team brings experience from companies like Bain, ZoomInfo, Airbnb, FanDuel, Shutterstock, Compass and more.
