The company started its operations in Barcelona in March 2015, where its headquarter is located. It is an economy on demand platform. Founded by Oscar Pierre and Sacha Michaud, it has already received funding of more than 37M € in the three rounds of funding so far.

The application allows customers to order whatever he/she wants. It has different categories depending on the type of product: food, pharmacy, groceries, courier, etc. Once the Glovo (order) is made, the customer can see by geolocation which glover will deliver the order, where it is located and the route the Glover will follow. All in real time. The vast majority of the glovers use motorbikes and bicycles.
