About Glaux

About our founder.

Glaux is designed and built by one person, on a single conviction: reading should become lasting knowledge — not evaporate.

Dean Spann

Founder & CEO


Dean Spann is the Founder and CEO of Glaux, an AI-powered reading studio for iOS built on a simple conviction: reading should become durable knowledge.

With a background spanning data analytics, artificial intelligence, and entrepreneurship, Dean taught himself iOS development and built the first version of Glaux himself — designing both the product experience and the learning architecture that drives it.

He holds a Master's degree in Technology Entrepreneurship from the University of Maryland and brings over a decade of experience in data analytics, AI, and machine learning to Glaux — building with both innovation and empathy at the core.

“I built Glaux because I was tired of reading things I’d forget. The goal was never a better bookshelf — it was a reading studio that helps the ideas stay.

— Dean Spann, Founder
