Glīd

Synchronizing Road and Rail with Atoms and Bits

All Access

Glīd is building the world's first autonomous road-to-rail logistics platform, unlocking stranded rail capacity to move freight faster, cheaper, and with fewer hands. Our dual-mode vehicles and AI-powered orchestration software serve both commercial supply chains and defense operations, designed to perform in GPS-denied, austere, and labor-constrained environments. We won TechCrunch Disrupt Startup Battlefield 2025, have secured over $70M in customer pipeline, and are deploying commercially in 2026. Backed by Draper Associates, Outlander VC, and The Veterans Fund. Founded by a dual-service military veteran and former SpaceX leader, Glīd is building sovereign, intelligent mobility infrastructure for America's ports, industrial zones, and forward-operating missions.
