The Saskatoon Company Quietly Selling Software to the People Who Sell Software
Vendasta doesn't sell to small businesses. It sells to the roughly 60,000 companies that already do - handing them a rebrandable marketplace, a CRM and, now, a payroll of AI employees to put their own logo on.
Evocalize
Evocalize is a Seattle-based marketing technology company that builds a collaborative, AI-powered platform enabling local businesses - especially real estate agents and mortgage loan officers - to launch and optimize sophisticated digital advertising campaigns across Google, Meta, TikTok, YouTube and direct mail with push-button templates.

Momos
Momos is an AI customer platform for multi-location restaurant and retail brands. It unifies customer service, reviews, reputation, listings, feedback and local marketing into one system so operators can respond to guests, catch problems in real time, and turn reviews and feedback into repeat visits. Founded in 2021 by former Uber and Grab operators, Momos powers tens of thousands of locations across brands including Shake Shack, Baskin-Robbins, Just Salad and Guzman y Gomez.
Synup
Synup is a local marketing and digital presence platform that helps agencies and multi-location businesses manage listings, reviews, and social media from one place. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in New York, the company started as a way to keep business location data accurate across hundreds of directories, then expanded into reputation management, local SEO, and AI-driven review responses. In 2025 it launched Synup OS (Agency OS), an operating system that adds CRM, sales pipeline, invoicing, and client-lifecycle tools so agencies can run their whole business - not just their clients' local presence - in a single platform.
