Glīd

This past December, Glīd graduated from Antler's accelerator as a portfolio company! Kevin A. Damoa and I are grateful for the experience and are now featured in the Spring 2025 Portfolio showcase! If you're interested in learning more about Glīd, we'd love to hear from you (see link below)!

??Traceability and tracking are paramount to reliable logistics. With Glīd’s patented road-to-rail vehicles, the entire supply chain benefits from less steps, operations, human touchpoints, and capital equipment!

Kevin A. Damoa, Founder & CEO of?Glīd, will be a panelist at our #VancouverHardwareMeetup on Feb 20. Kevin is a mechanical engineer, operations executive, and veteran with a career spanning space exploration, clean mobility, and defense logistics. A former U.S. Army and Air Force serviceman, he later led logistics at SpaceX, managed F-35 integration at Northrop Grumman, and held executive roles at Romeo Power, XOS Trucks, Canoo, and Serial 1 Cycle. Now at Glīd, he’s pioneering autonomous road-to-rail clean energy solutions. ??

Impact isn’t a one-time thing. It’s what you do every day. In this Building Better episode, I talked with Kevin A. Damoa, CEO of Glīd, about what that really means. He broke it down in a way that stuck with me. Impact starts with understanding your purpose. If you don’t know what your guiding light is, how can you expect to create meaningful change? Kevin has seen the best and worst of what people can do. His response has been to focus on solving problems, making things better where he can, and building something that matters. That mindset drives what he’s doing at Glīd, where they’re rethinking freight movement with scalable, efficient, electric-powered rail. This clip gives a glimpse into Kevin’s perspective on impact and purpose. It’s worth a listen. Full episode here: https://lnkd.in/gP3gY9wE #Leadership #Innovation #Sustainability #BuildingBetter

Kevin A. is an incredible human: from securing combat supply chains overseas, to transporting the largest (and only) reusable booster in the world he knows how to move hard stuff in hard environments. He's building Glīd to consolidate rail and road transport in the key nodes of America's supply chain. On BitBuilders we chatted about supply chains, technology, doing hard stuff and the social impact of port automation. Listen here: https://lnkd.in/dHU5Xcj6

"The future of logistics isn't about more trains or trucks - it's about erasing the line between them." In today's episode of BitBuilders, we had Kevin A. Damoa, founder of Glīd , who's revolutionizing freight transport by tackling the industry's biggest pain point: the costly and time-consuming transload process between rail and road. From fighting fires in California to designing rocket transport systems at SpaceX, Kevin brings unique insights into why our current logistics infrastructure is holding back American manufacturing and how automation could transform port communities. Tune in to learn about:? ? Why transloading a single container can cost up to $2,500 and add weeks to shipping times? ? How ports like Rotterdam handle 3x the capacity of U.S. ports through automation? ? Why trains won't move until they're 2 miles long (and what that means for your shipping costs)? ? The untold story of how poor infrastructure affects port-adjacent communities Listen to the full episode:?https://lnkd.in/eVdVGTrG ---- Sign up to the #1 Newsletter In Construction Tech.

It was a pleasure catching up with Christian Gaona on From The Ground Up (TexChange Unbrokered) and sharing my journey at Glīd???. The key to ground breaking innovation goes beyond a copy/paste approach of "new functionality," and requires intentional application that adds value to customers. This is the secret sauce at Glīd, and is a key reason to why I teamed up with Kevin A. Damoa. Globally, we face mounting labor shortages, road congestion, rising commodity prices, a warmer planet, and rampant pollution in port communities. As an owner/operator of Autonomous Road to Rail vehicles, our novel approach decarbonizes freight, streamlines logistics through a first principles approach, lowers costs, and "levels up" employment opportunities. Our vehicles traverse road and rail networks seamlessly, offering the best of both worlds without additional lift operations, capital equipment, or labor. If you are an investor and want to join our mission to democratize rail access and transform logistics, or a provider in need of moving freight and want to inquire about our autonomous gliders, please reach out directly to chat! #Glīd #Road2Rail #IntermodalTransport #AIEnabled #ElectrificMobility #AutonomousMobility #Robotics #Railways #Logistics

To kick off the new year, we're bypassing the usual routes and heading straight into the future of logistics with Glīd! Join Kevin A. Damoa and Matt Mueller as they pass GO ?? with us and collect some game-changing insights that has led to their development of autonomous freight solutions. This is one rail ride you won’t want to miss! https://lnkd.in/ghH9JeaE

MKTNG has been providing comms and marketing support for Glīd for their Pre-Seed campaign. CEO, Kevin A. Damoa is an inspiring leader who's innovative, autonomous Glider is going to revolutionize logistics in ports, industrial sites and innumerable other industries. The work has been rewarding, and their recent traction, including an investment from Antler, has been exciting to be a part of. We don't often work with companies at this early stage, but they are an incredible fit with our other work in decarbonization and infrastructure innovation.
