After having spent a few years in the trenches of battery and electric vehicle factories at Tesla and Toyota, Glimpse’s cofounders developed a vision for a one-stop-shop battery Quality Management Solution, which they actualized through the launch of the Glimpse Portal https://app.glimp.se/ in March 2024. Today, Glimpse counts some of the world’s largest battery producers and OEMs, such as Lucid Motors and NASA, among its customers.
