About

Glovo connects users with couriers for fast delivery of items, operating in 24 countries with 4.3 million active customers and 65,000 couriers. Users can order groceries, meals, and more through the Glovo app, which couriers deliver.

Additionally, Glovo has "Urban Darkstores" in city centers for 24/7 access to groceries and essentials, aiming to be the "everything app" for urban areas. Their annual Hackathon fosters a culture of improvement and technological advancement, setting Glovo apart in the on-demand delivery market.
