Vedex

Description

Vedex is the command center for AI and alternative data procurement. Purpose-built for hedge funds, quant teams, asset managers, and enterprise data buyers, Vedex aggregates vendor information from 9+ major data marketplaces and enriches it with AI-powered research. Browse 5,200+ vendors and 3,500+ data products across 120+ categories: from satellite imagery and credit card transactions to ESG, geolocation, and web scraping. Every vendor profile includes a Trust Score (compliance and security), AI Readiness Score (LLM and embedding compatibility), and Pricing Intelligence (normalized benchmarks across tiers). Key features include side-by-side vendor comparison, a compliance matrix, AI readiness leaderboard, geographic coverage mapping, a procurement Data Room for shortlisting, and a JSON API + MCP server for AI agent integration. All vendor data includes provenance tracking and confidence indicators. Unlike closed alternatives, Vedex is fully open and transparent; no account required to browse, no transaction brokerage, and machine-readable profiles (llms.txt) for every vendor and product.
