We had the good fortune of connecting with Gregg Delaney and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Gregg, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I wanted to create a path that lead to happiness, which for me is a healthy work/ life balance
What should our readers know about your business?
I created Gif
Gigera, the first black owned on demand business tool mobile app, that creates opportunities for entrepreneurs to scale their business and clientele as well as expand their market footprint. The same app is also a tool for consumers to locate and request professional services, that can be delivered on demand. I am most proud of my beautiful family, my mother Sherry, Daughter Nya, and grand children London and Lyric, and soon to be wife Andrea. But also that I was able to take a concept and a dream and bring it to fruition and make it a thing of substance. Nothing about this was easy, I was told no so many times when asking for assistance or investment by those who could have easily helped but did not see the overall vision. I was turned away from rooms that not only I belonged in, but rooms that would later request my presence. I believed in what was being created and my vision and the fact that God gave me this……. He would not have placed me in this position if its not where I was suppose to be. I learned that patience is the best business tool an entrepreneur can posses, and that your vision and your time line may and most certainly will change with growth and challenges. I was blessed to create a business tool that anyone seeking financial freedom and growth in any business can use. A application that can be manipulated to fit whatever you as a business owner wishes to gain and need to run a successful business.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I love to support growing businesses and places where you can relax, enjoy the scenery and meet like minding people. One of my favorite spots in the city is a new restaurant/lounge/club by the name of 4play owned by a very good friend and business genius Mr. Taylor. A mountain trip is a must to be able to see Gods beauty and regain perspective on life.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
