RNS Morning Report - Faith-based AI company Gloo faces moment of truth

RNS Morning Report Desktop
Scott Beck has long hoped the faith-based AI company he founded in 2013, Gloo, would help churches and other Christian groups harness technology to spread God’s word and help save the world.
More than $400 million in losses and 13 years later, that dream faces a critical juncture. Leaders at Gloo Holdings Inc. hope a stock sale on Friday (July 10) will bring in more than $20 million to the faith-based company to help keep it going and make it a kind of one-stop shop for outsourcing church services.
RNS National Reporter Bob Smietana spoke to Beck earlier this year, who said Gloo had finally reached critical mass with about 150,000 churches signed up for its services – technology, marketing and fundraising products.
But it’s not clear if Wall Street has faith in Gloo.
