Glean

Glean was founded in 2019 by Arvind Jain, a former Google engineer who had previously co-founded and sold Rubrik, along with several other former Google search engineers, based on the observation that employees at large companies typically must search across many disconnected internal systems, including email, chat, wikis, and various specialized business applications, to find information they need for their work, a fragmented search experience considerably worse than the unified, comprehensive search experience Google had built for the public internet. Glean's platform indexes content across a company's various connected internal tools and applications, letting employees search across all of them simultaneously through a single unified search interface, while respecting each underlying system's existing access permissions so employees only see search results for content they're already authorized to view, addressing a technically important requirement given how much sensitive, access-restricted information exists within typical enterprise data. The company has expanded significantly beyond search into a broader enterprise AI assistant platform, letting employees ask natural-language questions and receive AI-generated answers synthesized from across the company's internal knowledge base, and increasingly building AI agent capabilities that can take action across connected enterprise systems rather than only retrieving and summarizing information. Glean has raised very substantial venture funding from investors including Sequoia Capital and Kleiner Perkins, reaching a valuation exceeding $7.2 billion, competing with Microsoft's Copilot and other enterprise AI search and assistant platforms.
