About Glow®

Glow is an ambitious enterprise that uniquely applies the power of data science to health. Our personal health tracking products illuminate health through data, and empower people with new information about their bodies.

Though we live in a time when people track everything from diet and weight to the number of steps taken each day, it remains taboo to talk openly about some of the most critical phases of development: menstruation, sex, fertility, pregnancy, parenthood, and beyond.

Glow tackles these topics head-on, harnessing our powerful ability to crunch vast amounts of data to investigate the science behind these life stages. In doing so, we aim to shape discoveries and dialogue around the most innate aspects of our biology and embolden people everywhere to take control of their health.

What we do

Glow empowers women with information about their bodies and shines a light on the science of womanhood. We use machine learning and algorithms to convert that knowledge into highly accurate and personalized information for each woman across all of our apps.

We’ve also created a thriving Community in which women across all stages of life, all over the world, support and learn from each other about every topic imaginable.

We do it for the Glow babies!

We don’t believe in hierarchy or entitlement. We’re young, hungry entrepreneurs, tech industry veterans trying to make a difference in the world.

I couldn’t live without my kids.This isn’t an optional thing. They are part of me. The fact that some people know every day that want to have this part in their life and they can’t have it, that’s pretty profound.

Co-founder, Max Levchin
