Founding Story
Glide was founded in October 2018 by David Siegel, Jason Smith, Mark Probst, and Antonio Garcia Aprea, who had previously worked together at Xamarin. After Xamarin was acquired by Microsoft for $500 million, the founders came together with the vision to make software development accessible to everyone without coding. They believed that good software could be built by anyone, and set out to prove this thesis by creating a platform that turns spreadsheets into functional apps.
