Glimpse — Discover exploding trends before they take off
Glimpse is a monthly newsletter that surfaces rapidly growing trends: companies, products, industries, and styles.
The trends are identified by tracking nearly every word and phrase across search, media, shopping, and social websites, then surfacing those that show rapid growth.

@taylormajewski Hey Taylor - thanks for checking us out! We arrived at the price points based on costs to support our infrastructure and hit our growth milestones. As revenue grows, we'll grow our team in order to:
1. Add a greater amount of actionable insights to the newsletter
2. Get even better at early detection of trends. The earlier the better and the higher projection certainty, the better.
This is awesome, would be cool if it was a tool rather than a newsletter. Would love to see all of the trends, but at $39/mo it's unaffordable for my curiosity
@danirogerc Thanks for stopping by Daniel! One of our goals with Glimpse is to provide actionable insights beyond just keywords and their growth curves. It's quite a large operation to do this across enough categories and keywords to the point where an interactive tool would make sense, though we'll certainly get there in due time. Until then, we're doing hand-picked trends through the monthly newsletter. Stay tuned for the coming updates!
Hi Hunters!
We first built Glimpse to get a better sense of where to start new ventures and where to make new investments. It’s since evolved into a monthly newsletter for entrepreneurs, investors, growth marketers, and generally interested people, to discover exploding trends before they take off.
We consume as much data as possible - all the words and phrases being used above a certain frequency threshold across major sites that represent the largest categories of activity - social, shopping, search, media, entertainment, etc. We then surface the trends that show rapid growth, rapid decline, or other interesting features.

Looks neat, but doesn't establish enough value upfront to justify paying $29 / month. You might consider trialing your lowest paid tier
This is awesome @noah_fram_schwartz ...signed up as soon as I saw it. Great concept!
From the sales page, my only hesitation was that you say for the highest tier they get 'actionable insights for each trend' but for the 29/mo plan we don't get any insights in the newsletter? Do we only get a keyword and graph?
With the two price plans being so massively different in cost, there isn't a 'middle ground' tier. The 29/mo plan seems the one to go for a solopreneur/entrepreneur, and the bigger one is for teams and enterprise, which is fine - double the trends from 10 to 20. But why not give us the insights on our 10 trends? The advantage to the higher tier plan is they are getting double the trends each month + teams. I would much rather pay a little bit more to get insights on my 10 trends without needing features like team access, etc.
So I like the idea but do agree it would be nice if this was an app and not a newsletter I hate email so prefer to consume content when I choose via logging in...
Noah has been working on this for a while now 🙏 Glimpse provides a lot of interesting insight, even identifying micro-trends as they are taking off. I'm really looking forward to see where this goes!
Hi, how Glimpse is different from Google Trends? And how do you make sure that your trend is actually not a false truth?
Nice work btw, very smart one.
@cippo Hi Samir - Google Trends is for researching the things you've heard of. Glimpse is for surfacing the things you haven't. Exposure to the unknown unknowns.
I use the industries info and its nuts how much this has helped our marketing teams, product dev teams as well as PR. The trends guide our decisions in narrowing down where to focus our funds/ efforts
Pros:some of the smartest most amazing insights. the surfaced trends are pretty neat- one of the better newsletters in a long time.
Cons:Would love daily insights. Also would be cool if it was a tool instead of a newsletter
Sadly it's not letting me purchase the subscription. Is anyone else having errors?
@noah_fram_schwartz I LOVE this. You just need to add a way to for users to predict trends and incentivise those who discovered it first and Glimpse will become my new addiction.
@mefranco Hey Frank! Given that the trend line is an overall measure of popularity, there does tend to be a relatively strong correlation with the trend lines and buying patterns in most categories. Speaking generally, the more specific the keyword, the greater the intent on average, so the higher the correlation.
there is no way to unsubscribe from the monthly subscription! I have sent emails and no response from them
@sheron_lowe I've always had issues with this, we've tried cancelling the monthly subscription but our credit card is still being charged. No response from their customer support email.
@eric_neal Hey Eric! We look at a number of the major sites across a few core categories - search, social, shopping, media, and entertainment. As far as the data, it's a combination of text and relevant factors that would affect that text. For example, the number of views a video has would give a certain weight to the words in the title and, to a lesser extent, the words/phrases in the comment section. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Just subsribed! Ditched G Trends recently so eager to receive the first update! Good luck!
