Glitch was officially released in 2017, about the same time that Dash was appointed CEO of its parent firm, Fog Creek Software. The platform enables both novice and professional coders to easily build and deploy tiny web apps, with a “remix” tool that makes it simple to change someone else’s project and launch a customized version. Glitch has grown to 1.8 million monthly users and established a subscription service for pro and team features in the years thereafter.
The company was confident enough in the service to raise $30 million in funding in 2018 and change its name from Fog Creek to Glitch. For years, the company, which was created in 2000, had served as an incubator for projects that would later be spun out into larger organizations, with famous names like Trello and Stack Overflow tracing their roots back to it.
