==History==
The company was founded by Miss Paola Sentana, in November 2017. It seeks to optimize different processes in government institutions; the first product for this is "Micro" which is to speed up and reduce the cost of micro-purchases in the bidding processes. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.diariolibre.com/actualidad/tecnologia/no-es-crear-mas-metros-sino-mejorar-los-sistemas-actuales-OL14972378|title=No Es Crear Mas Metros Sino Mejorar Los Sistemas Actuales|date=2019-10-28|website=diariolibre|language=es|access-date=2019-10-28}}</ref> it was created on the basis that governments are the biggest decision-makers in the world. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://thesiliconreview.com/magazine/profile/an-interview-with-paola-santana-social-glass-founder-and-ceo/|title=An Interview With Paola Santana Social Glass Founder and Ceo|last=Bort|first=Julie|website=Thesiliconreview|}}</ref>.
Social glass is currently working on a program for the management of government purchases, called “MICRO”. Micro is being tested in San Joaquin County and the Sacramento Counties Association, in California. MICRO™ is an e-commerce marketplace for compliant and paperless government micro-purchases (e.g. daily needs, office supplies, professional services, emergency items), where government agencies can buy, contract or rent products and services from verified businesses. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://thesiliconreview.com/magazine/profile/an-interview-with-paola-santana-social-glass-founder-and-ceo/|title=An Interview With Paola Santana Social Glass Founder and Ceo|last=Bort|first=Julie|website=Thesiliconreview|}}</ref>.

==Future Projects==
According to Paola Sentana, the CEO of the company, “We are talking with some state institutions so that we can start pilot tests of the first product that Social Glass has." She explained that the tool will be easy to use and that the employees responsible for the area will receive training. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.eldinero.com.do/93870/ciudades-inteligentes-generan-el-bienestar-de-sus-municipes/|title=Ciudades inteligentes generan el bienestar de sus munícipes
