About Gregslist
Gregslist began as a pet project of Greg Head after a successful 30-year career in the software industry. In 2015, Greg became a full-time mentor, advisor, and consultant to tech founders. He discovered there was no up-to-date or complete directory of local software companies in Phoenix, so he created and published one himself on his website and called it Gregslist.
Greg first published his personally curated list of Arizona software in 2016 to help his friends and fellow software company founders in the Phoenix area: Gregslist. It quickly became popular with local tech founders, investors, job seekers, service providers, and community leaders. Awareness and usage grew steadily.
For three years, Greg personally curated the list with new companies and corrections and published an updated list every month. Gregslist Arizona grew from 120 software companies in 2016 to over 600 active, real software and SaaS companies in 2020. Gregslist has become a popular free resource in the Phoenix tech community known for being comprehensive, up-to-date, easy-to-use, and focused on the local software industry.
Gregslist is a comprehensive list of local software companies and SaaS jobs in over 10 major cities. It’s a free resource for local software communities to connect leadership talent, job seekers, investors, and local tech experts to the crazy founders who are creating the next wave of successful software companies.
Gregslist is a free resource that exists to connect talent, investors, mentors, service providers, and community leaders to the entrepreneurs who are running these innovative companies.
Gregslist is now used by thousands of founders, tech execs, investors, job seekers, and community leaders every month.
In 2020, Gregslist moved to gregslist.com with an expanded website including more specialized lists in each metro area (by location, funding type, category-focus, industry focus, age, and size), local resource lists, and an interactive map showing the company locations in each region.
Later in 2020, Greg and his team added a curated list of current job openings at software companies on Gregslist.
In 2021, Greg started the Dallas Software Podcast to showcase the stories of savvy SaaS startup founders and software companies CEOs in Dallas, with weekly interviews hosted by Greg.
