There are two strong arguments in favor of vector-like leptons and quarks: Flavor Democracy call for them, and E6 GUT predicts existence of iso-singlet quarks and iso-doublet leptons. Vector-like quarks (VLQ) are extensively searched by ATLAS and CMS collaborations, but this is not the case for vector-like leptons (VLL), while they have actually similar status from phenomenology viewpoint. In this study we argue that vector-like leptons should be included into the new physics search programs of energy-frontier colliders. We consider production of vector-like partners of the first SM family leptons at the HL-LHC, HE-LHC, FCC, ILC, CLIC, Muon Collider, as well as, at ep and {\mu}-p colliders. As for decays of vector-like leptons, we present branching ratios formulas to different channels for the most general case. Since there are many different production and decay channels for charged and neutral vector-like leptons, relevant studies should be done systematically. We invite the High Energy Physics community (both experimenters and phenomenologists) to actively participate in research on this topic.

Single production of singlet vector-like leptons at the ILC
Projected 5-sigma discovery regions for singlet vector-like leptons at the 1 TeV ILC are derived, covering masses 300-700 GeV and coupling kappa down to about 0.026.
