About Sitehunt

Hi, I’m Dane Carlson, an economic developer, writer, podcaster, and entrepreneur in Houston, Texas.

I run the Econ Dev Show – a podcast, email newsletter, and blog of actionable strategies, fresh news, insights, and ideas for the economic development community.

After years of struggling to understand available buildings and sites, and dealing with the dreaded RFIs, I decided to create Sitehunt in late 2023. Responding to RFIs was always a last-minute scramble, making me question why I even bothered due to the immense work and minimal reward.

Sitehunt was my solution, designed, developed, and coded with the support of my wife and children.
