Widewail Earns a Spot on the Inc. 5000 Vet 100 List for 2025

Widewail, celebrates its second consecutive year on the Inc. 5000 Vet 100 list, highlighting their growth as a veteran-owned business.

We’re thrilled to announce that for the second year in a row, Widewail has earned a spot on the Inc. 5000 Vet 100 list for 2025! 

This recognition celebrates the fastest-growing veteran-owned businesses across the US, and we’re proud to be acknowledged alongside such inspiring companies.

Widewail CEO Matt Murray’s journey—from serving in the U.S. Navy (2000-2006) to founding Widewail—has been shaped by transformative leadership experiences. 

After his military service, Murray returned to Vermont, where he joined Dealer.com before moving on to become Vice President of Enterprise Strategic Growth and Retail Solutions at Cox Automotive Inc. In 2018, Murray, alongside Angi Murray, launched Widewail with a mission to revolutionize online reputation management and customer engagement.

A Dedicated Team 

Murray credits Widewail’s success to the same values that shaped his military career. 

“The core values held close by members of the United States Navy—Honor, Courage, and Commitment—are immutable. Hats off to all of the Veterans on this list who’ve led their teams to success by demonstrating these values. Every day is an opportunity, and you’ve worked incredibly hard to seize the moment,” he says. 

None of this would be possible without our incredible team—the Wailers, who go above and beyond every day to deliver innovative solutions that drive real results for local businesses. This recognition reflects their relentless drive and dedication to excellence.

Strong Partnerships, Stronger Growth

We’re also grateful for the trust and support of our clients and partners. Their collaboration has been key to our success, and we’re honored to be their go-to resource for improving customer engagement and building stronger reputations.

Special recognition goes to Widewail partners who have also served - their continued dedication to excellence in both military service and business leadership sets an inspiring example.

Looking Ahead

This recognition is an exciting honor, and it marks a significant achievement in our journey. 

At Widewail, we’re committed to constantly innovating and moving forward, but today is about taking a moment to appreciate how far we’ve come. As Matt puts it, “I’m extraordinarily proud of the team at Widewail. Today, we celebrate.”

Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey. Wail on!
