About Glean

We’re on a mission to bring people the knowledge they need to make a difference in the world.

Glean was founded by a seasoned team of former Google search and Facebook engineers, who wondered why we don’t have an easier way of finding what we need at work. In our personal lives, we have tools to help us find pretty much whatever we need. Why don’t we have that at work? And that was the beginning of Glean.

Glean searches across all your company’s apps to help you find exactly what you need and discover the things you should know. We’re a diverse team of curious and creative people who want to help each other get big things done—so we can help other teams do the same.

We're backed by some of the Valley's leading venture capitalists—including Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed, and General Catalyst—and have assembled a world-class team with senior leadership experience at Google, Slack, Facebook, Dropbox, Rubrik, Uber, Intercom, Pinterest, Palantir, and others.

Additional highlights about Glean

Our customers include brands like Coinbase, Robinhood, Airbnb, Uber, Palo Alto Networks, Square, T-Mobile and one of the top 5 banks in the USA. With bleeding-edge AI breakthroughs in Generative AI and LLMs in particular, Glean is perfectly poised to deliver disruptive value to our customers. Several Tier 1 VCs from the Silicon Valley (Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed, General Catalyst, and Sequoia) share our vision and have invested $155M in Glean. Our valuation at Series C in May 2022 was $1B.
