Education and Early Life

Glass grew up in Newton Center, Massachusetts. As a teen, he worked as a delivery driver for the local restaurant Pizzaman.

Glass holds a B.A. in political science from Yale University. He withdrew admission from Harvard Business School to begin GoMobo.com, after an investor offered him $500,000 in seed money contingent on his withdrawal.[2]

Career

More recently, Olo released Dispatch, a product that matches food delivery customers with delivery drivers through Uber (company) and other services.[6]

Before founding GoMobo/Olo, Glass held positions at Amnesty International, Braun Consulting, Endeavor Global, the National Retail Federation, and Shutterfly.com.[7] He also worked in the foodservice industry.
