About Glimpse

Hey there —

I’m Rohan and I started Glimpse. We write short profiles of people doing interesting things, so others can learn from their paths.

I’ve spent the last decade writing about people and their careers, alongside building Coached, Resume Worded and CareerSet. Through that work and my newsletter, I’ve had so many conversations with people who’ve given me ideas, made me think differently and inspired my own work.

But you usually have to know someone to hear the interesting part of their story. I wanted a place to share more of those stories.

To be covered by Glimpse, someone who’s already been featured needs to refer you. We fund the research and publishing ourselves, so we’re keeping it invite-only as we grow. Besides, interesting people tend to know other interesting people!

I hope you enjoy the profiles. If you want to say what’s up, !

Glimpse is referral-based.

To be covered by Glimpse, someone who’s already been featured needs to recommend you.

If you know someone here, you can ask them to put you forward.

The person who recommended you is credited on your profile under “Noticed by”. They don’t write the profile; Glimpse does.

Glimpse is completely free. There’s no fee to be covered or to join, and no one can pay for a place.

Have someone in mind? for us to consider.

How it’s made

Glimpse writes the profile using a comprehensive AI-assisted research, writing and illustrating process. The person featured doesn’t write it themselves, and no one can pay to be covered.

Once someone’s name is put forward, we start researching their story.

Research
We search public sources: the person’s work, their website, or interviews and professional profiles.
Find what’s interesting
We look for connections between their experiences, what’s distinctive about their work, and what others could learn from it. We use an AI-assisted process to help research, write and illustrate the profile.
Review, then publish
Each profile goes through internal review before it goes live. We work from public information. If we’ve got something wrong, the person featured can send a correction through their private link or .
