The franchise-oriented digital marketing platform Evocalize landed on at least one prestigious map this week, making Inc. Magazine’s coveted annual list of the 5000 fast-growing private companies.
“This really is an exciting achievement for us,” Evocalize’s VP of Marketing Justin Ulrich, told us in a LinkedIn chat.
“It’s a testament to the hard work and dedication of our incredible team, as well as the trust and commitment of our partners. We truly are grateful for every opportunity we get to serve them, as without them, we wouldn’t be able to achieve such great success.”
Evocalize ranks No. 3,851 on this year’s Inc. 5000 list. The company posted a 122% three-year growth rate to get there.

Our Next Guest
Coincidentally, Evocalize CEO Matthew Marx will be the featured guest on next week’s episode of Localogy’s This Week in Local podcast. The interview, conducted earlier this week, did not focus on the Inc. 5000 honors.
Rather, our interview with Marx focused on trends in AI (including an interesting chat about AI hallucinations) and the difference between merely easy-to-use and truly automated solutions for SMBs. We also discuss what it’s like for a B2B SaaS company to raise money in the current environment.
On the last point, Marx suggests it is a misconception that venture funding is no longer available. But he also seemed relieved when he said that Evolcalize doesn’t need to raise money right now. The company raised a $12 million Series A funding round early last year.
“Fortunately, we’re not in a position as a company that we need to raise right now,” Marx told us in the podcast interview.
“I would say to any entrepreneurs out there, there are a lot of venture capitalists that are still looking at putting money to work. I mean, we were still getting calls every week.”
Look for our This Week in Local interview with Matt on Monday, wherever you get your podcasts.
