INC5000 2026 List Download // evyAI.com - INC 5000 List

In this 7‑minute live YouTube demo, Joe Apfelbaum, CEO of Evia, walks viewers through a complete workflow for handling the Inc. 5000 list using the EvyAI platform. He logs into EvyAI, reviews his LinkedIn network, sends personalized Father’s Day messages, and demonstrates how to import the Inc. 5000 CSV, map dozens of fields (email, phone, address, company data, social links, revenue, growth, etc.), and enrich missing information using internal databases and external AI agents (Gemini, Grok, Manus, and ChatGPT). The demo shows real‑time troubleshooting of audio issues, audience interaction via live comments, and the use of AI‑generated comments on LinkedIn posts. Joe also illustrates batch data cleaning, handling rows with missing names, and delegating the extraction of leadership details to AI agents, comparing their outputs. Throughout, a secondary speaker interjects with rhythmic, Father’s Day‑themed verses that serve as a stylistic backdrop. The session ends with a call‑to‑action for viewers interested in the completed Inc. 5000 list.

Happy Father's Day to you as well. I appreciate the kind words. Happy Father's Day. And Jane says, hard to hear you. Thank you for sending me the message letting me know it's hard to hear me. I turned off the music so people can actually hear me talk. Can you hear me better now that the music is off? Uh, maybe there's a delay. I actually turned it off. Okay, let's see what else is going on here. Okay, so let's not get carried away. Let's stay focused. We're going to focus on sending messages to these people. Okay, so John Siegel. Let's see what happened with John Siegel. So John Siegel, I am connected to him on LinkedIn. That's nice. I'm going to go here, open up John's profile right here. I'm going to check to see if I actually have his contact information here. Look, I got a phone number, an email address. Everything's right here. Perfect. So I'm going to go through this, add it as a note here, press save, and then I'm going to say enrich from the notes. So what Ev AI is going to do is going to go through the notes and just enrich it. I'm going to grab his email address and then I'm just going to add it right over here. Boom. I'm going to open up the next person here, Catherine. And Catherine, I am not connected to on LinkedIn. She only has 545 followers. My sound is going in and out. Oh, okay. What about this? Is this a little bit better if I bring the microphone just a teeny bit closer to my mouth? Is this a little bit better, Jane? Let's see. Let's get my microphone closer. I bought this new I bought this new microphone here. Let's see, is this better now? Jane, let me know if this is better, if you can hear me loud and clear now, or if you need me to speak louder or something like that. I definitely put the microphone closer to my mouth just now. I just put the microphone closer to my mouth. Let me know if you could hear me better now. Okay, let's see what she says. Catherine's on the Inc. 5000. I'm not connected to her, so you're gonna see there's not gonna be any email or anything here. But Evie AI does have access to her email address, probably. I don't know, we'll see. She's a director, upscale singers. Ooh, 40-person chorus performing in December. Oh, I like that. And she's also the CEO of this company. All right, well, let's copy this and let's pop the email in here because that's what we do. Um, let's check out this person over here. Graham. Graham, 4x Inc. 5,000 person.
Wow.
Okay. Headed out for a run. Been running every day for 38 years. Good habits lead to great things. I totally agree with you. I'm gonna head out for a run soon as well. I really enjoy running. Okay. Okay, so I saved this guy Graham into the Inc. 5000 list. Let's pull him up over here. Let's enrich him based on my database of 280 million people. Okay. Entrepreneur on a mission to create more Arizona millionaires through various avenues. 11,000 followers, no email address. Well, let's go look at a different database to see if we can grab his email from a different— oh, look at that. We have a database right here.
Boom.
All right, well, now we have his email. Okay. Now we're going to add his email right here. All right, let's see what else we got over here. We got this person here. All right, she's a second-degree connection. She's paying for LinkedIn. She's from the Keepers Commercial Cleaning. She has 8,000 followers. She posted 3 days ago. I'm gonna save this profile.

Integrated thinking drives results. Okay. The A-game. Is this this guy's company? Let's see what this is. The— oh, Adcom Group, Ohio. Randy works there. Oh. What does Randy do for that company? Randy. Oh, Randy works for that company. I wonder what he does for them. Okay, it's a decent-sized company. So, all right, let's look at this person over here. We got his email. Oh, we already looked at this person, didn't we? We're looking at Marcy now. We tried to grab her email. I'm not sure what happened over there. Did we try? I'm gonna hit this up, see what happens. Uh, let's see what this person says. Jane says Much better when it's closer. It's better, but it goes in and out. Okay, thank you for letting me know it's going in and out. I think I need to buy an amplifier for my microphone to make it louder. Okay, so I got her phone number, did not get her email. Let me go in here and see if I can grab her email from here. It looks like I got her email right here. All right, I'm going to add her email here and then I'm going to add it to the spreadsheet just like that. Okay, good. So now we have the full list of every company on the Inc. 5000 in Arizona. Very nice. We have everything, all the information that we need here. We have their website, their LinkedIn URL, their Facebook, their Twitter. We have the revenue range, 3-year growth. Lots of information. AI summary, ICP tags, all the good stuff. Let's see what this AI summary is. Skylab Digital is a leading insurance marketing agent. Oh, I like that. ICP tags. All right, so let's go in and pull this information. Um, let's put this information into Evie AI real So what we're going to do is we're going to press download and we're going to download this entire CSV, CSV, just like that. Okay. So I'm downloading the CSV. So I have the CSV downloaded and I'm going to go into network, find prospects directory, and I'm going to add a new list, Inc. 5000 2025 list. A directory of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in America on the Inc. 5000 2025 list. Okay, I'm going to press save, and it's right up here. I'm actually going to delete this version over here that we have. Okay, so that's gone. Now I'm going to click on this one, and I'm going to do new contacts. You see, as we upload And I'm going to take the file I just downloaded. Okay, so we're going to map everything. So we're going to map emails, phones, address, city, state, zip, headline, company domain, LinkedIn URL, job title, location, links, first name, last name, upload confidence, quality status. Quality directory tier research recommendation. We'll just make this a metafield. We're going to rank metafield, description metafield, industry metafield, founded metafield, size metafield, leadership metafield, website metafield, LinkedIn— that's company LinkedIn. I'm going to do company LinkedIn, company LinkedIn, company Twitter, company Facebook. I'm going to do honors, Inc. profile, revenue range, 3-year growth, employee growth, previously on the list. Company phone, company address, revenue, technologies used, search keywords, AI summary. Okay, we're gonna leave that. We're gonna take off the— is there anything in the business model part? I don't think we ended up filling that out. Business model. Yeah, there's nothing there. There's nothing there. Primary category, primary category, something there. Subcategory, target market. So primary category, subcategory, and then we're done. We'll do primary category metafield, subcategory metafield. Okay, we can fill in the rest. Oh, funding status, hiring, growth tier, verified date, review notes. Okay, so we're not going to leave any of that one. We're just going to do import now, just to kind of have an updated list. Oh, there's 177 rows skipped. No name found in map columns. Okay. I have to figure out who those are, and then we'll repurpose. Okay. So, let's look at which companies have no name and fill them out. All right, let's see. We're going to click on these 3 dots over here. We are going to remove filter, and then what we're going to do is we're going to say, okay, first name, last name— where was that? First name, last name. All right. So we're gonna look for the blanks. We are gonna look for the blanks. We are going to look for the blanks. Okay. Actually gonna use Gemini. There are 177 companies that are missing first name and last name here. Can you look at the first 5 and tell me If you're easily able to find them, able to find the first and the last name based on the leadership column. All right, let's see what it can do here. So this is Gemini working on this list that will allow me to be able to fix the data on the list. In the meantime, let's see. Good idea. All right, let's go out of here. Let's see. Wow. Interesting. Data added by content added by Gemini may be visible to users outside your domain. Wow. That's interesting. I wonder what that means. All right. Let's look through this list just to kind of see what you can see. Ooh, look at this. Why is their website not here? I could have sworn we added their website here. Oh, the website is here. It's right over here. That's nice. It's on the top. Wow. Look how many Look how, look how much stuff there is on each one of these companies. Oh my goodness, this is good. Oh, there's research recommendation. Okay, this is good. Oh man. So for any of these people, you can click on their LinkedIn URL and then just see if they posted on LinkedIn recently. You see, this guy posted 3 weeks ago. And now with Evy AI, you can actually read the post and leave a thoughtful comment. You see that? So if I wanted to comment on the profiles of all the CEOs on the Inc. 5000 list in a specific category, I'd go to the top. I would click on filter and I would filter by, let's say, any of these things here. Industry, I'm going to say marketing. I'm going to press search. It's going to pull up the 419 marketing people in the marketing industry. If it has the LinkedIn URL of the CEO, Vanessa Van, why isn't the LinkedIn URL there? Okay, let's just see who else. Nam, okay, so Nam, CEO of Supervillain in California. Oh, look at this. One month ago.
Okay.
I'm going to— Congrats on hitting the 5,000. Congrats on hitting the 5,000 last year, Nam. I noticed that you're not really posting on LinkedIn. I'm curious enough that is strategic. Okay, let's just see what he does. See if he responds to that. That's pretty cool. I want to go to Dan Khan. Two days ago. Very nice. I'm going to click on this. How about V A I rent a? Okay, so I just left him a very, very thoughtful comment. I'm going to click on his profile just to kind of see what he has going on here. I'm going to add him to my Inc 5000 list. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to create a separate list with all the people on the Inc 5000. that I, um, that are active on LinkedIn so I can keep track of those people. So if they're active on LinkedIn and they're in marketing, I would love to be in touch with them. Dan Khan, I'm gonna send him a message. Happy Father's Day, Dan. Congrats on hitting the Inc. 5000 list. I commented on your most recent post and I just wanted to take a moment To wish you happy Father's Day. Okay. You could talk louder, but it's better when you're closer. She says yes, it works now. Can't hear you, Joe. Happy Father's Day. Okay. Thank you, Jane. This is Jane's profile. Jane has 13,000 followers on LinkedIn. Very impressive. I'm going to go here and look at her most recent post. This is from 19 hours ago. I'll leave a comment on her post. Beautiful. This is her Juneteenth post. Leave a comment on this one as well. Why not? This one I already commented on. Just catching up, Jane. Just catching up. Oh, Sherry accepted my connection request. So, so grateful that we get to work together. Let me know what you think about my profile. And I think it's time for you to connect your actual company page to your profile. Let's discuss that during office hours. So we're gonna do EVAI Pro. Marco Stockley. Let's see, what is it? Just lost in my thoughts. Comment. I'm gonna leave. I'm gonna be the only one to leave her a comment on this post. Okay, I just left her a thoughtful comment on her post. Let's go back to the Ink 5000 list and. It's not really doing anything over here. What's it thinking about? I'm just going to close this out because it's not really doing what I needed to do. Let me see. Let me go down over here. So this one's missing it, but let's look at leadership. Where's leadership? Leadership. I don't know where leadership is. Here's leadership. Ooh, leadership is empty. Leadership is empty. Let's look at this. Let's look at this. Is leadership actually empty here? Oh, no, it's not empty. This is not empty. Number 1014. Number 1014. Where do they rank on the list? Low quality, do not upload. Uh, 1014, manufacturing unknown. What number on the list are they? Where's the number? Where's the list number? Where the list number at? Yeah, 1014. Okay, so the list is accurate. It's just for some reason these people have not been pulled properly. All right, we, we gonna fix that. We gonna fix that. We gonna fix that. So we got to get industry. Well, let's see how many manufacturing companies we have here. Manufacturing. We're going to change industry from marketing to manufacturing. Where's the industry? Let's see. Industry. Manufacturing. Search. Wow, we're manufacturing company industry. Me likey a lot. Me likey a lot. Ooh, the company 5,000. That's cool. Okay, so I got to clean up that part. So the way we're going to clean it up is very simple. We are going to deploy an agent that does that. And the way we're going to do it is we're going to say, oh, hang on a second. I'm getting a call. I am on LinkedIn Live right now. Today? Okay. I'll look at it. Okay. I'll look at it. I'll look at it. Thank you. Bye. All right, let's see. I'm going to click on this and I'm going to click on data. No, data, create a filter. For leadership and see where the leadership— what's missing. Really, I should do first name, last name is missing. So let's go to first name, last name. So first name, last name is missing. We have all these companies that first name, last name is missing. So funny that we have the LinkedIn URLs for these people. The first name, last name is missing. Is it because leadership is missing? Yeah, because leadership is missing. But we have all their LinkedIn profiles. Isn't that funny? We have LinkedIn profiles, but we're missing names. We don't have that many LinkedIn profiles. We have how many? 17 of 177. So what I gotta do is I got to take this, Ctrl+C. I got to go to manus.im. I got to Can you please review these 177 links? And let's do them in batches of 10 at a time. Let's look at the first 10 links, and I want you to find me the following information on the first 10 links. Let's see what information I want. Just going to open up a random one. I want— okay, so I'll tell it what I want. All right. Let me tell you what I want. I want the number on the list. I want the name of the company, a little description, maybe one sentence, the industry, the year founded, the location, the leadership, the company size, the website, the LinkedIn of the company website. If they have Inc. Honors, I want what it says under Inc. Honors. Here is the list of the 177 companies I want you to work on. All right, let's see what it does. It's going to open up a computer and it's going to start attacking them one out of 10 at a time. Okay, now I'm going to do the same thing with Groq. I'm going to go to Groq. I'm going to take the same prompt that I gave Manus, see which one does a better job. And I may as well give it to ChatGPT as well. Let's go here. Control C. All right, so ChatGPT is working on it. Grok's working on it, and Manus is working on it. And let's see which one does a better job. And then once I have all that information, I'm going to give that information over to— oh, look at this. Manus did it. Manus did it. Oh man. Okay, great. Find me the next 10 now. Now do the next thing for the next 10, and then the next 10, and the next 10. Do 10 at a time. Stop, check your work, and then keep going until you finish the list. Okay. All right, let's see if it does it. Go ahead, do the next batch and put it into a CSV that you can keep track of, maybe a canvas or something. Okay, do the next batch, and if you can, just keep going till you finish the full list and put it into a CSV, like a canvas that you can keep track of it. Oh, look at that. No, it looks good. Keep going. Knock it out. Let's, let's rock and roll. Let's do the whole list. So if you guys are interested in getting the full Inc. 5000 list after I do all the work putting it all together, uh, just hit me up and let me know. I'm happy to support you on your goals.
