The Glide Experience

All thanks to CEO David Siegel and his team, Glide is here to revolutionize the complex app development process. It was after they witnessed the difficulties faced by organizations while building mobile apps that the four founders decided to build a startup to solve the problem.

Going by the saying “Spreadsheets are the most successful programming model of all time, and smartphones are the most successful computers of all time”, the team started thinking how the two forces can be combined to create a tool that will help businesses build apps easily minus any hassles.
