Public company, workplace, funding, and market signals
Updated Jul 28, 2026
Overview
Glide (legal name Typeguard, Inc.) is a privately held San Francisco software company that helps businesses turn spreadsheets, databases, files, or prompts into collaborative, AI-powered operational software without traditional coding. Its newest product direction is GlideOS, while the legacy visual builder is now described as Glide Classic. Public sources conflict on founding year (2018 vs. 2019) and funding totals ($23.75M disclosed in databases vs. $27M in Glide’s current careers snapshot); this profile preserves those caveats.
