PHX FWD Takes the Baton on Gregslist Phoenix

Phoenix’s software ecosystem just crossed a quiet but meaningful milestone. PHX FWD has officially taken over Gregslist Phoenix , the longtime community-built directory created by Greg Head , and rebranded it as The List . Since launching in 2016, Gregslist grew into one of the Valley’s most trusted resources, tracking more than 600 Arizona software companies. The transition marks a true “passing the baton” moment—no acquisition, no monetization—just stewardship. Under PHX FWD, founders can now submit and update their own listings, helping The List evolve into a living, real-time snapshot of Phoenix’s momentum. This move aligns directly with PHX FWD’s bold vision: making Phoenix one of the world’s top software cities by 2035.A transparent, accurate directory isn’t just infrastructure—it’sa signal to talent, investors, and operators that something real is being built here. PHX FWD also announced Anita Grantham as executive-in-residence to lead its talent program, reinforcing the belief that people, culture, and leadership are the ultimate growth engines.
