SoftBank, celebrities back a $40 million investment in Christian worship and meditation app Glorify

▤ Summary

In a statement, Glorify said it will use the fresh funding to scale its operations, expand its team internationally, create new and exclusive content, while further evolving the app’s features to meet and serve customer demand from Christians around the globe. While the amount raised is minuscule compared to the millions of dollars regularly invested by major funds in early-stage startup companies, Glorify is one of a number of Christian apps which have grown in recent years, tapping mainstream financing sources. And, it’s only the beginning.” Built from the premise that small and regular connections with God help people fight anxiety, sleep better and support their overall wellbeing, Glorify empowers all Christians to reflect and enjoy their daily quiet time on their own terms. We’re excited to support Ed and Henry and the entire Glorify team as they continue innovating on the product, growing their exclusive content library, and connecting Christians in new markets around the world,” said Connie Chan, General Partner, Andreessen Horowitz. The round complements an exceptional 2021 for Glorify, having attracted millions of Christians of all denominations despite little marketing, as the team presses to offer the masses a positive framework for faith, rather than a specific theological persuasion.
