Glid, a logistics startup, emerged victorious at Startup Battlefield 2025 by showcasing solutions to simplify and enhance the shipping process. Led by CEO Kevin Damoa, Glid focuses on improving logistics infrastructure to streamline container shipments.
Damoa’s inspiration stemmed from his military experience, where he encountered the complexities of transporting large cargo. Through Glid, he addressed these challenges, culminating in a win at the TechCrunch Disrupt stage, surpassing 200 competitors.
During the Build Mode podcast, Damoa highlighted the importance of hardware and software in overcoming logistics hurdles. He emphasized the collaborative effort that propelled Glid’s success, despite the team’s size constraints. The pressure of a public deadline spurred them to refine their products swiftly, ensuring a seamless demo at the competition.
Post-victory, Glid is gearing up for rapid expansion, with plans to pilot projects with Great Plains Industrial Park and launch their latest offering, Glider. The company is actively recruiting talent across various domains to support its growth trajectory.
