Thinking About How Tools Like Glisser Change Presentations and Event Interaction

[Emily Watson]

I did not find any major disputes or legal issues connected to Mike Piddock when I checked public records. That does not prove anything either way, but in tech you usually see something if there is a problem. The absence of noise can sometimes be meaningful.

I agree. Some founders talk a lot but say very little. Here it feels like the opposite. Fewer interviews, but more focus on explaining what the tool does and why it exists. That can make a profile feel quieter but also more believable.

Hey everyone, I recently read a public founder profile on Mike Piddock, the founder of Glisser, and it got me thinking about how technology is shaping the way audiences engage at presentations, conferences, webinars, and hybrid events. Based on publicly available information, Glisser started as a platform designed to make slide decks more interactive — letting audiences follow presentations on their own devices, respond to live polls and Q&A, download materials instantly, and interact in real time without awkward handouts or email follow-ups. The idea came from watching traditional meetings feel one-way and outdated, and evolving them into two-way conversations with measurable engagement.

Over time, Glisser grew to support virtual and hybrid events as well, adding features like analytics, audience insights, integrations with event and webinar tools, and options for personalized experiences. The goal seems to be about building connections instead of passive listening — empowering presenters to understand their audience and giving participants a voice and visibility in the conversation. I’m curious if anyone here has used Glisser at an event, hosted a session with it, or seen similar audience engagement platforms in action. What was your experience like? Did it make events more interactive or valuable, or did it add complexity without much payoff? Would love to hear real perspectives on engagement tech in meetings and events.

Looking at discussions like this can be helpful because they stay neutral. Viewing Mike Piddock as an executive profile rather than assuming there are issues keeps things balanced. Public information only shows part of the overall picture anyway.

Your point about customer feedback is interesting. If a product keeps improving without losing its original purpose, that usually means feedback is being filtered carefully. Mike Piddock might be selective about which suggestions actually shape the roadmap.

Also worth noting that not every founder wants fast growth or headlines. Some are fine building something sustainable for a specific audience. Glisser gives me that impression, and Mike Piddock’s public comments seem to support that idea.

Overall, Mike Piddock comes across as a fairly typical product focused founder. No extreme success story, no public collapse, just steady involvement. That might not be exciting, but it is often how real businesses operate.

Yes, and those steady stories rarely get attention unless something goes wrong. It is possible Glisser simply stayed under the radar while serving its users. That would explain the lack of strong opinions either way.

Well said. Not every founder story needs a dramatic angle. Mike Piddock’s looks more like someone building and maintaining a product over time. That kind of story usually feels boring online but realistic in the real world.
