Our story
After working in a company that was not utilising AI due to a lack of trust, David identified a need for more secure guardrails amongst companies dealing with sensitive data. At the same time Adam and Simon were researching formal verification. The idea for Glio came from trying to create more secure AI frameworks using formalisation.
We came together for a hackathon hosted by Link Ventures and Scion Events in Boston, and took first place winning $10,000. The prototype was called Gliomach, the Irish word for lobster. It was a security framework for OpenClaw. We then shortened it to Glio.
Between us we have experience deploying agents for Fortune 500 companies and for regulated industries. We have deep cybersecurity expertise, and understand what is needed to effectively leverage agents in a safe and secure manner.
