We needed these tools ourselves
Gloo started with two go-to-market operators who got tired of clunky software and started building their own. It worked. So we started building for other teams too.
Sound Familiar?
We've lived these moments. Probably more times than we'd like to admit.
The 3AM Report Scramble
"Pulling data from five different systems the night before it's due. Again."
The Spreadsheet Graveyard
"Account_tracker_v47_FINAL_FINAL_USE_THIS_ONE.xlsx"
The Thing That Slipped
"Finding out something important fell through the cracks—because nothing was tracking it."
The Deadline Surprise
"Something big was due next month. You found out today."
The Breaking Point
"There's got to be something better than this..."
"What if we just built it ourselves?"
A late-night conversation became the start of something bigger. We knew the problems. We had the skills. The only question was: why hadn't we done this sooner?
From Idea to Reality
Six moments that turned frustration into focus.
"What if we just built it ourselves?"
Two operators, years of living inside broken tools and spreadsheets. One day the workaround became the question: why are we still waiting on someone else to build this?
Tools for our own work
We built what we needed to do our own jobs better—dashboards, a CRM, automations that killed the manual busywork. Rough at first. But they worked, and we used them every day.
Friends of friends came calling
People saw what we'd built and asked for their own. A franchise fighting inventory chaos. A team drowning in PDFs. Word spread the way it does—one warm intro at a time.
Ship, learn, ship again
Every project taught us something. We rebuilt, refined, and got faster—from first conversation to working tool in weeks, not quarters.
Not just for GTM teams
The problem turned out to be universal. Inventory tools, compliance dashboards, internal apps, websites—anything stuck in a spreadsheet or an email thread was fair game.
A real studio
What started as "wouldn't it be nice if…" became Gloo. We build the tools teams wish they had—and we stick around to make sure people actually use them.
Two operators who build
We're not a career agency. We came up carrying quota and running go-to-market teams—so we build the way we wish someone had built for us.
What We Believe
The principles that guide everything we build
Tools Should Work the Way You Work
We've spent years configuring platforms that were never built for how we actually operate. Never again. We shape the tool around your process—not the other way around.
Shipping Is Half the Job. Adoption Is the Other Half.
Anyone can build a tool now. We've watched plenty die in three months—no one maintained them, no one tracked usage, no one owned rollout. We stick around: we drive adoption, keep it running, and make it better.
If It Doesn't Move Your Number, We Don't Build It
Every feature answers one question: would this actually help you do the job better? If not, it doesn't ship.
We're building the tools we wished we had when we were the ones doing the work.
We know what it's like to run a process out of a spreadsheet, to lose hours to manual busywork, to wait on a roadmap that never gets to your problem.
You deserve better. So we build it—and we help your team actually use it.
