GLIDR vs Wantboards

Build better products.

GLIDR is a product discovery and validation platform built to help your team 1) build a shared understanding of customer needs, 2) prioritize what to build, 3) calibrate your go-to-market strategy, and 4) make smarter decisions across your innovation portfolio.

In 2012, co-founders Jim Hornthal and Steve Blank discovered the need for software to power the National Science Foundation’s I-CORPS Program. Since then, we've built on our initial MVP and GLIDR is now a leading product discovery and innovation management tool.

Our mission: Accelerate the future by empowering product managers, entrepreneurs and innovators of all types with the tools they need to achieve their goals.

Wantboards.com is the newest way for buyers to connect with sellers in a demand-based marketplace.

Wantboards is taking the traditional idea of shopping and flipping it around. Rather than trudging through multiple stores to find the best price or waiting for coupons/sales, we cut out that process for the consumer by simply having them post on our platform with what they want at a desired price. Then, the Wantboards team finds them sellers to connect with. In addition to helping consumers get better deals on the things they want, we want to provide businesses with an ongoing outlet for finding new customers by alerting them when a buyer's post matches their inventory.
