Join the Growing Tribe of Practical Founders

Build Your Valuable Software Company Without Big Funding

There is a large but hidden tribe of serious SaaS founders who are growing valuable B2B software companies without big funding. I call them practical founders. 

These serious entrepreneurs are creating amazing businesses with little or no outside funding that are worth 5x to 10x revenues, and sometimes more.

But all we hear about is the VC funding game, unicorn valuations, and super-scale playbooks. This isn’t helpful to SaaS founders who need useful playbooks and perspectives they can apply to their companies, in their markets, at their growth phases.

I’m Greg Head. I’m a 30-year veteran software entrepreneur who was a leader in the startup-to-scale journeys of three software companies in the CRM industry, including one IPO.

Now I am an active CEO advisor, peer group moderator, and podcast host helping founders of practical SaaS software companies all over the world.

Practical Founders Peer Groups

The support you need from a community of practical SaaS CEOs—and Greg Head

As a scaling SaaS founder, you want to make confident strategic decisions and accelerate your growth trajectory, but it’s often lonely and confusing to make these big decisions on your own.

Be part of a committed and confidential group of practical founders creating valuable software companies without big funding—just like you. 

Each Practical Founders Peer Group is a forum for serious SaaS founders to work on their biggest challenges and learn what’s working from each other.

Every month, you’ll learn something to help you grow your business faster and make it more valuable.

Peer group support

Now I can just pick up the phone at any time and call one of the CEOs in the group and ask, What are you doing about this? And with Greg, I'm in this situation. Can we talk through it? It comes back to me, too. I'm happy to help our peer group CEOs anytime.

Feedback from experienced founders

It is amazing to get unfiltered feedback from such experienced founders who don't have an agenda other than to be helpful to me. I also get to hear that other savvy founders are dealing with hard challenges, making mistakes, and making things up, just like me.

Practical Founders Podcast

Every week, Practical Founders Podcast host Greg Head interviews a successful software founder who started, grew, and often sold a valuable software company without big funding.

Over $8 billion of founder equity value has been created by just 130 SaaS founders interviewed on this podcast so far. That’s an average of $60 million founder of equity value created by each company—that didn’t go to outside investors.
