History

Our History

Meet the founders that started it all

Glassboard founders, Drew Westrick and Grant Chapman, met in college at Purdue University, where they started the Electric Vehicle Club. After moonlighting as consultants to support their electric vehicle startup, they formally founded Glassboard in 2015 to provide clients with the engineering horsepower to develop ideas into high performing products. Since the inception, Glassboard has grown from ‘engineering firm’ to a comprehensive product development company encompassing research, strategy, design, and engineering services to take our partners from problem statement to product on the market.
