Our Story
Why Glitch Guild exists, and the mission behind the platform.
The Founder
Cristian Brownlee
Founder & CEO
The Signal in the Noise. After securing investment on BBC Dragons' Den for my previous venture, I wasn't just inundated with orders; I was inundated with stories. Thousands of disabled people reached out, not just as customers, but as innovators.
The Hidden Economy
In these conversations, I didn't see 'vulnerable people' needing help. I saw elite problem-solvers. The corporate world called them 'risky hires'. I saw them for what they actually were: Masters of Constraint-Driven Innovation.
The Arbitrage Opportunity
Glitch Guild exists to correct a massive market failure. We are not an EDI statistic; we are a talent arbitrage engine.
We exist to prove that the 'Glitch' is not a bug. The divergent way a neurodivergent brain processes the world is a proprietary feature.
The Guild Structure
Glitch Guild is not a traditional agency structure. We are a decentralized network of engineers, strategists, and creatives. We don't have overheads; we have reach.
The Aerodynamics of Deviation
A perfect sphere is compliant. It follows the path of least resistance. It rolls where the ground dictates.
To the corporate world, our talent often looks broken because they don't roll. They don't fit the mould.
But in aerodynamics, a smooth surface generates no lift. You need a break in the geometry—a glitch—to leave the ground.
Your difference isn't a defect; it is the mechanics of elevation.
We don't fix the glitch. We build the runway.
