Чем занимается Glide

Glide is a web-based app builder that allows non-programmers to quickly create powerful and beautiful internal business apps by starting from scratch, starting with a prompt, or starting with a spreadsheet. For 30 years, app development had barely changed. When Glide launched, we brought app development out of the Dark Ages, making it web-based, collaborative, accessible, and fun. Today, the influence of AI on coding has propelled app development even further. And Glide has risen to the occasion. The next generation of Glide gives users an AI-first method for building internal business software without worrying about granular-level control, security, authentication, database infrastructure, or deployment woes. Our mission is to become the operating system for your business by helping you turn all of your operational spreadsheets and data into beautiful, intelligent apps. We're three technical founders with expertise in native mobile frameworks, developer tools, and product design. We've worked together for 5-10 years, and were all early employees at Xamarin, a mobile developer tools startup acquired by Microsoft in 2016.

Turns spreadsheets into intelligent apps

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build a web-based app builder that lets non-programmers create internal business apps quickly and easily. Users start from spreadsheets, a blank slate, or an AI-generated prompt. The product handles all the backend complexity - security, authentication, database, deployment - so customers can focus on building useful workflows, not infrastructure.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco with a remote team distributed elsewhere. The company is based in San Francisco, CA after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we all live and have built our network and team. Remote helps us grow the team globally, but our core remains here.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Это реальная заявка Glide в YC?

Нет. Y Combinator держит поданные заявки в приватности. Это реконструкция: реальные вопросы формы YC, ответы на которые основаны на публичных данных Glide (заметки о запуске, бэкграунд фаундеров, описание продукта). Это показывает, как компания вроде Glide представила бы себя YC, а не текст, который они подали.
