Glimpse

AI Agents for CPG brands

[Akash Raju @akashraju4]

I’m extremely excited to announce that @try_glimpse has raised a $35M Series A led by @a16z with continued participation from @8vc & @ycombinator bringing our total raised to $52M.

At Glimpse, we’re building the AI-native infrastructure for CPG & retail brands. We started off automating the deductions workflow - recovering brands millions of dollars back into their P&L & saving dozens of hours every week. With this initial focus, we’ve also built the CPG data layer giving us the opportunity to continue expanding to more manual workflows that can be automated. We’re giving CPG brands real operating leverage in the world of AI.

To our 200+ customers including PLTFRM, Evermark, IQ Bar, Alice Mushrooms, and more, thank you for your faith in us. We have more fuel now to keep supporting & scaling with you all.

We’re hiring - come join us! We’re just getting started.
