Startups & Entrepreneurship

Years ago, Billy Stevens ran Berkey's: a repair service that specialized in plumbing, electrical work, and air conditioning. His first office was here in Grapevine. So when he wanted to revolutionize the industry with automation software and a convenient, customer-facing app, there was only one place to go. Stationed just South of Historic Main Street, Billy and his team are growing rapidly and expect to exceed 100 employees in the next year or two.

“What’s unique about Grapevine is the community. That’s the reason why I’m here; you’re concerned about businesses that are here,” Stevens said. “It was a no-brainer for me to start my next business in Grapevine.”

Customer Experience has become increasingly important as markets shift and grow. But why should B2C firms be the only ones concerned with gathering customer feedback? Chris Seaton, Founder & Principal at Seaton CX, prides himself on helping clients reduce churn, boost upsells, and lower the cost to serve by transforming customer experiences. And he does it all from a rental office on Main Street.

“I chose Grapevine because of its culture, central location, and proximity to DFW airport,” Seaton said. "I love working on Main Street. Every afternoon I walk from Northwest Highway to Harvest Hall and back again to think and recharge. The restaurants and wineries are perfect for entertaining clients. When I started my business, I wanted to enjoy being where I worked – and downtown Grapevine was the place!”

Dustin Parker and Jonathan Simmons know a thing or two about insurance. Their Grapevine-based company, Box Insurance, has been in the market for decades. So they were the perfect people to design and implement software that could digitize and accelerate the laborious form-filling process that defines the insurance application process. The technology they developed to solve their problems proved so valuable that they spun it into another company. SALT Insure now provides tools for a growing number of independent agents and completed a $2 million Series A raise in May 2022.

“Dustin and Jonathan both live in Grapevine and Dustin’s Grapevine roots go back as far as the early 1900s,” said SALT Marketing Director Casey Hege. “The fact that SALT is born out of such a legacy business in Grapevine, Box Insurance Agency, is quite a story!”
