Glīd, a logistics infrastructure startup, won TechCrunch's Startup Battlefield 2025 competition by developing hardware and software solutions to streamline container shipment from road to rail. Founded by Kevin Damoa, who identified these logistics challenges during his time in the U.S. Army, the company launched three products nearly simultaneously and demonstrated them live at Disrupt. The team is now launching a pilot with Great Plains Industrial Park and preparing to release their next product, Glīder, while actively hiring across multiple roles.
