MadKudu is a predictive lead scoring and revenue intelligence platform built specifically for product-led growth (PLG) and B2B SaaS companies — combining firmographic ICP scoring with product usage signals to identify which free users, trial accounts, and pipeline leads are most likely to convert to paid customers.
Product Overview
MadKudu's core capability is connecting product usage data to revenue outcomes: rather than scoring leads purely on firmographic fit, it analyses how prospects actually use the product during trial or freemium periods — feature adoption patterns, usage frequency, team expansion within the account — and combines this with ICP data to produce a composite Customer Fit Score and Product Qualified Lead (PQL) score. This PQL methodology is particularly powerful for PLG companies where the strongest conversion signal is product behaviour, not marketing engagement. Integration with Segment, Mixpanel, and Amplitude brings product data into the scoring model, while Salesforce and HubSpot sync scores back to CRM for sales prioritisation. MadKudu's revenue attribution layer shows which combination of ICP characteristics and usage behaviours most correlate with conversion and expansion.
Key Features
