About
Glovo is a Spanish tech company and the fastest-growing multi-category delivery player in Europe, Western Asia, and Africa, established in 2015 in Barcelona by Óscar Pierre and Sacha Michaud. It has rapidly grown to become a notable player in the on-demand delivery market. Glovo connects users with businesses by facilitating the quick procurement of a variety of goods, including meals, groceries, and various consumer products through its innovative app. The service prides itself on its ability to deliver items within minutes, demonstrating a commitment to speed and efficiency. As of today, Glovo operates in 23 countries and has a significant presence in over 200 cities, with a workforce of more than 4,200 employees and about 80,000 independent couriers. The platform allows users to place orders using an 'Anything' button, which enables requests for essentially any item that fits within the size constraints of a courier's bag. Glovo has a vision of extending access to goods and services locally, supporting the growth of small businesses, and providing couriers with flexible work opportunities. The company is also focused on sustainability and social responsibility, with initiatives like their Impact Fund directing a portion of delivery revenues towards community and environmental projects.
