The Jersey City Firm That Grew 150x Just Made the Inc. 5000 for a Fourth Time

Valasys Media, the B2B marketing and data intelligence firm headquartered on the Jersey City waterfront, has landed on Inc.’s 2026 list of America’s fastest growing private companies, continuing a growth run its CEO has described as 150 times the company’s size in just a few years.

Valasys Media, the Jersey City based B2B marketing and sales technology firm, has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest growing private companies, landing at No. 2,242 nationally and marking one of 147 New Jersey companies to make this year’s ranking. For a company built specifically around helping other businesses build predictable sales pipelines, the recognition extends a genuinely consistent multi year track record rather than a single breakout year.

A Fourth Straight Year on the List

Valasys Media first appeared on the Inc. 5000 in 2023, debuting at No. 2,723 nationally, No. 72 in New Jersey, and No. 33 within the media industry specifically, driven by 196 percent growth over the prior three years. The company returned the following year with an even stronger showing, climbing to No. 1,495 overall on the strength of 345 percent three year growth, then continued that trajectory through 2025 and now into this year’s 2026 ranking, giving Valasys four consecutive appearances on a list that turns over considerably more companies than it repeats.

CEO and Managing Director Mohammad Tareeq, a former IBM employee who founded Valasys Media in 2015, has pointed to an even more dramatic underlying figure behind those year over year rankings, describing the company’s overall growth between 2021 and 2024 as 150 times its original size. Tareeq has framed that trajectory as a direct result of Valasys treating each period of market disruption as an opportunity rather than an obstacle, a philosophy he has carried through the company’s expansion from a single Jersey City office into a genuinely global operation.

“Every disruption means opportunity. And it is in our genes at Valasys to capitalize on it,” said Mohammad Tareeq, CEO and Managing Director of Valasys Media.

What Valasys Actually Sells

Valasys Media specializes in data driven B2B marketing and sales enablement, helping corporate clients build predictable growth pipelines through targeted prospecting, account based marketing, appointment setting, and content syndication. The company’s flagship product, the Valasys AI Score, or VAIS, uses machine learning and natural language processing to analyze more than ten different parameters, including firmographic data, behavioral signals, and real time buyer intent, letting client sales teams prioritize the accounts most likely to actually convert rather than spreading outreach evenly across an entire prospect list. The platform integrates directly into CRM tools like Salesforce, and has earned a 4.9 out of 5 customer rating on G2, alongside a Gold Globee Award this year specifically for its AI Campaign Builder, which the company says delivers 97 percent funnel efficiency for clients using it.

All of that data processing runs through SOC 2 aligned security protocols, with the company processing business contact information exclusively through permissioned, consent aligned signals designed to comply with both the GDPR and CCPA privacy frameworks, a meaningful operational detail for any firm handling large volumes of business contact data across international markets.

A Jersey City Headquarters With a Genuinely Global Reach

Valasys operates its global headquarters from 111 Town Square Place in Jersey City, managing international operations across Dubai, Pune, and additional US offices from that hub. The company has continued building out its leadership team alongside its growth, recently naming Director and CFO Prachi Shah, who joined Valasys in 2016 as the company was still finding its footing as a demand generation business, to Business Elite’s 40 Under 40 New York edition for 2026. Tareeq credited Shah’s financial discipline directly as central to the company’s broader growth trajectory, tying her recognition to what Valasys has described internally as its Vision 2030 roadmap.

For a company that started as a single founder’s bet on data driven B2B marketing a decade ago, four consecutive years on the Inc. 5000 list offers a genuinely rare kind of validation, not a single strong year, but a sustained growth pattern serious enough that Inc. itself has now recognized it four times running, with Jersey City remaining the operational center of gravity for a company whose reach now extends across three continents.
