  From Lab to Startup: How Technology Is Changing the Future of Healthcare With Chris Yoo of Xcellerant Ventures AZ TRT S07 EP16 (298) 9-20/2027 What We Learned This Week A Startup Is More Than an Idea A great idea is only the starting point. Investors also look at the founder, team, execution, market, technology and ability to adapt. Idea → Team → Execution → Business New Jetstream Fund for the average Investor. Venture Capital Is About De-Risking Early-stage investing isn't about eliminating uncertainty. It's about progressively reducing it. Research creates information. Information creates validation. Validation reduces risk. Technology Is Compressing the Timeline of Healthcare Innovation Genomics, sequencing, AI and computing are allowing researchers to perform certain processes dramatically faster and cheaper than in the past. That creates opportunities to move discoveries from the laboratory toward actual medical applications. Arizona Has a Growing Technology-to-Enterprise Pipeline Arizona's technology ecosystem isn't just startups. It includes: Universities → Research → IP → Entrepreneurs → Capital → Companies → Commercialization The universities and research institutions are important pieces of that pipeline. The Next Healthcare Revolution May Come From Data The conversation around genomics, eye scans, AI and precision medicine points toward a broader change: The human body is becoming a source of increasingly usable data. The opportunity is to turn that data into better diagnosis, more personalized treatment and potentially earlier prevention. AZ Tech Show Notes — Chris Yoo, Xcellerant Ventures September 2026 Guest: Chris Yoo, PhD Organization: Xcellerant Ventures Website: https://www.xcellerantventures.com/ Jetstream Fund: https://www.jvf.vc/ WHY VENTURE CAPITAL?

Partners: John Shufeldt, MD, JD, MBA, FACEP General Partner · BA, Sociology and Criminology: Drake University · MD: The Rosalind Franklin School of Medicine & Science · MBA, JD, & Six Sigma Black Belt: Arizona State University · Certificate in Entrepreneurism and Innovation: Harvard · Certificate in AI: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Douglas (Doug) Sylvester, JD, LLM General Partner · BA, University of Toronto · JD, University of Buffalo School of Law · LLM, New York University School of Law Michael Shufeldt, MBA General Partner · BS, International/Global Studies, University of Arizona · MBA, Arizona State University Focus: Technology, healthcare, life sciences, biotech, startups and early-stage investing Episode Overview Chris Yoo brings a unique perspective to the Arizona technology ecosystem, combining a background in cell biology and healthcare with venture capital and startup investing . With a PhD in cell biology from Yale, Chris has spent much of his career thinking about fundamental questions in medicine: Why do people get diseases? How can we diagnose them? And how can we develop better treatments? Today, through Xcellerant Ventures and the Jetstream Fund , he works with founders developing technologies in healthcare, life sciences, biotech and other emerging technology sectors. A major theme throughout the conversation was de-risking — taking something that is unknown and making it less unknown through research, data, testing, execution and commercialization. Segment 1 — What Makes a Startup Investable? Startup ≠ Just a Great Idea A startup begins with an idea, but venture investors aren't simply investing in ideas. They are evaluating: The founder The team The market The technology The ability to execute The company's strategy The company's ability to adapt Chris emphasized the importance of the founder/funder relationship . The founder may have the original vision, but the company will evolve considerably as it moves from an idea toward a real business. Founder vs. Idea Chris is less concerned about whether a company has: One founder, or A founding team What matters is whether the people involved have clearly defined roles and responsibilities and whether those roles fit their individual strengths. A startup eventually needs expertise in areas such as: Engineering Sales Marketing Operations Product development Finance Those needs change as the company grows. The Founder's Dilemma One of the challenges for founders is recognizing that the company changes as it grows . The person who is perfect for getting a company from zero to one may not necessarily be the person who should manage every function when the company becomes much larger. The company needs to evolve. Different Stages Require Different Capital Chris discussed the distinction between different stages of startup funding. For example: Pre-seed → Seed → Early Growth → Later Stage And there is an important distinction between: Pre-revenue and pre-seed . A company can be extremely early while still having different levels of valuation, technology development and market evidence. De-Risking One of the most important venture capital concepts from the conversation: De-risking means making unknowns less unknown. Investors don't expect every question to be answered at the beginning. Instead, they want to see progress: Unknown → Research → Data → Validation → Commercialization Each stage provides more information and reduces uncertainty. Segment 2 — From Cell Biology to Technology Chris's background starts in healthcare and life sciences. He earned his PhD in Cell Biology from Yale , studying fundamental questions around disease: Why do diseases happen? How can they be diagnosed? How can they be treated? That scientific background influences how he approaches startups today. Think Critically About Problems A recurring theme was the importance of thinking critically about the actual problem before jumping to the solution. Technology creates new possibilities, but the technology still has to solve a meaningful problem. Technology Has Accelerated Healthcare The growth of computing, data, genomics and sequencing has dramatically accelerated life-science research. Processes that once took: Months Millions of dollars $ Large teams can now sometimes be completed in: Days At dramatically lower costs With significantly more data Genomic sequencing is one example. The cost and speed of sequencing have changed dramatically over the past several decades. Technology + Life Sciences Chris sees enormous potential where technology intersects with biology . Examples include: Genomics Gene sequencing Artificial intelligence Cell therapies Data analysis Precision medicine Drug development The goal isn't technology for technology's sake. The goal is ultimately to translate technology into medicine . From General Treatment to Personalized Treatment One of the biggest possibilities is moving toward treatments that are increasingly tailored to the individual patient. Instead of simply asking: "What drug treats this disease?" the question becomes: "What treatment is most appropriate for this particular patient?" That shift could fundamentally change medicine. Segment 3 — Arizona's Technology & Life Sciences Ecosystem Xcellerant Ventures focuses heavily on Arizona companies, particularly in: Healthcare Life sciences Biotechnology Technology Military/defense applications Dual-use technologies The Xcellerant team brings multiple areas of expertise to the table. Chris has the scientific background, while partners bring expertise in areas such as medicine and intellectual property. More Than Just Money A venture investor can provide founders with more than capital. They can bring: Industry knowledge Scientific expertise Operating experience Networks Business models Strategic guidance Commercialization expertise The objective is to help founders move from technology to enterprise . Arizona's Ecosystem Chris emphasized that Arizona has a much larger technology and life-sciences ecosystem than many people realize. Universities and research institutions play an important role. Organizations and institutions mentioned during the conversation included: Arizona State University University of Arizona ASU's medical programs Grand Canyon University University technology commercialization programs UA Tech Launch GC Ventures The Flynn Foundation Universities serve as important sources of: Research → Innovation → Intellectual Property → Companies An Example: Eye Technology Chris discussed Ne-Yo Medical , a Minnesota company developing a highly precise eye-drop delivery device called the NanoDropper . The company is led by a medical doctor, Elisa Song, and has a small founding team. The broader opportunity involves oculomics — using information from the eye to learn more about a person's overall health. The eye can potentially provide biological information that extends well beyond traditional eye diseases. Segment 4 — The Eye as a Window Into Health One of the most interesting concepts discussed was the growing ability to use eye scans and imaging data to identify patterns associated with broader health conditions. Think about the progression: Eye image → Data → Pattern recognition → AI → Diagnosis/Prediction → Treatment/Prevention The opportunity goes beyond traditional eye conditions such as glaucoma. Chris compared the growing understanding of eye health with what we've learned about: Dental health Sleep Heart health Overall wellness The larger idea is that different parts of the body can provide data about the health of the entire system . Genomics and Oculomics Genomics looks at information contained in our genes. Oculomics looks at information contained in the eye. Both represent a broader movement toward using biological data to better understand individual health. Jetstream Fund — Opening Early-Stage Investing Chris also discussed the Jetstream Fund , which is designed to give investors access to early-stage technology investing with smaller investment amounts. Traditional venture capital funds generally have: General Partners (GPs) who manage the fund and Limited Partners (LPs) who provide capital. The Jetstream approach allows investors to participate with smaller checks, potentially around $5,000–$25,000 , rather than requiring the much larger commitments often associated with traditional venture capital. The concept is to bring more investors into the early-stage technology ecosystem. The broader investment thesis involves finding technology that has already demonstrated meaningful development and helping companies commercialize that technology .

  Meet Noah: The AI Robot Delivering Your Next Meal w/ Steve Burns of NoTip - AZ TRT S07 EP15 (297) 9-13-2026

  Sep 18, 202640 minS7

  Meet Noah: The AI Robot Delivering Your Next Meal w/ Steve Burns of NoTip - AZ TRT S07 EP15 (297) 9-13-2026 What We Learned This Week Food delivery may be ready for a robotics makeover. NoTip is testing a model where an EV gets the food close to the customer's home and an autonomous robot completes the final delivery. The expensive part of a delivery isn't necessarily the food—it's the last mile. Restaurants and consumers can face significant costs from today's delivery model. NoTip is trying to use automation and EVs to change that equation. Physical AI is moving into the real world. LiDAR, cameras, GPS, sonar and RTK positioning allow robots to understand and navigate physical environments—not just digital ones. The EV revolution isn't just about cars. Purpose-built electric vehicles can be dramatically smaller and lighter than conventional cars, potentially changing the economics of businesses that operate fleets all day. The future of autonomous delivery may involve two vehicles—not one. The delivery vehicle gets the order to the neighborhood, while a smaller robot handles the final few yards to the front door. That combination could allow companies to rethink how the entire delivery process works. Guest: Steve Burns — Founder, NoTip Stephen S. Burns is a serial entrepreneur and technology executive with more than three decades of experience building disruptive companies across automotive, electric vehicles, telecommunications, and software. He is the founder of Lordstown Motors, where he served as Chairman and CEO, leading the acquisition and transformation of the former General Motors Lordstown Assembly Plant into an electric vehicle manufacturing facility. He also founded Workhorse Group (NASDAQ: WKHS), an early pioneer in commercial electric vehicles and last-mile delivery technology, helping lay the foundation for today's commercial EV market. Prior to his work in electric mobility, Burns founded Mobile Voice Control, a pioneering speech recognition software company for smartphones that was acquired by Nuance Communications. Throughout his career, he has successfully founded, scaled, and exited multiple technology ventures, commercializing innovative products that have advanced mobile communications, enterprise software, and transportation technologies. He is widely recognized for identifying emerging technologies and transforming them into industry-leading businesses.

Segment 1 — Meet Noah: The Robot Changing Food Delivery Steve Burns introduces NoTip , a new autonomous food-delivery company operating out of Mason, Ohio. The company has spent approximately four years in stealth mode developing its technology. NoTip officially went live in the summer of 2026 . The company's technology centers around Noah , an autonomous delivery robot built in-house. Noah is an example of what Steve describes as Physical AI —AI that doesn't just exist in software but interacts with the physical world. The company is essentially taking on the traditional food-delivery model represented by companies such as DoorDash and Uber Eats. Customers order through an app and pay before the delivery. Instead of a gig worker delivering the order, NoTip uses autonomous vehicles and robots. The initial focus is suburban food delivery . The basic proposition is simple: people are willing to pay for convenience. Steve uses Uber as an example of how consumers have demonstrated that they'll pay for convenience when the service solves a problem. NoTip's future delivery system combines: An autonomous EV Noah, the smaller autonomous robot The robot carrying the food from the vehicle to the customer's home The delivery vehicle can deploy the robot using a ramp. Noah uses a combination of: LiDAR Sonar GPS Cameras Mapping technology The robot has gone through thousands of modifications and improvements during development. Current testing includes a safety driver behind the wheel who can take over and make the delivery if the autonomous system encounters a problem. The Technology Business Steve points out the enormous valuations attached to technology-driven companies. DoorDash has reached a market capitalization far larger than many traditional vehicle manufacturers. His larger point: the software and technology layer can be more valuable than the physical vehicle itself. NoTip's concept is designed to be easy for consumers to understand: The delivery vehicle comes to your neighborhood. A small robot gets out. The robot takes your food to the door. Steve compares the concept to the familiar infrastructure of a UPS delivery fleet—but with autonomous technology replacing much of the human delivery process. Why Does Food Delivery Cost So Much? The NoTip Model NoTip plans to charge a flat $6 delivery fee . Traditional food-delivery services can charge restaurants significant fees, sometimes approaching 30% , depending on the arrangement. Those costs can ultimately be reflected in higher menu prices and delivery costs for consumers. Steve believes the current food-delivery model has become too expensive for restaurants, consumers and other participants in the food ecosystem. Automation could potentially change the economics of last-mile delivery. EV Economics Electric vehicles have substantially lower energy costs than gasoline-powered vehicles. Lower operating costs become particularly important in a delivery business where vehicles may operate for many hours every day. Amazon has already demonstrated the use of electric delivery vans through its Rivian fleet. NoTip is looking beyond conventional delivery vans toward smaller, purpose-built EVs. The Future NoTip Vehicle Steve envisions a future NoTip delivery vehicle that could be a three-wheel EV , more similar to a large motorcycle than a traditional automobile. The goal is to make the vehicle: Lightweight Efficient Less expensive to operate Purpose-built for delivery A lighter vehicle requires less energy to move, potentially helping reduce operating costs. Why Automation Could Matter Steve discusses some of the challenges and safety concerns associated with the current gig-worker delivery model. NoTip's objective is to create a delivery system that emphasizes consistency, safety and efficiency . The technology isn't simply about eliminating a driver—it is about redesigning the entire last-mile delivery process. Segment 2 — From EVs to Robots Steve Burns' EV Background Steve brings significant experience from the electric-vehicle industry. His background includes work with companies such as: Workhorse Lordstown Motors His experience gives him an understanding of: EV development Manufacturing Supply chains Automotive regulations Vehicle technology The challenges of bringing new transportation technology to market Lordstown Motors Steve discusses the bankruptcy of Lordstown Motors. He subsequently acquired intellectual property and physical assets from the company. That included EV-related assets and vehicles that could be useful in developing future technology. NoTip's Current Vehicles The company is experimenting with multiple prototype configurations. Some of the current vehicles are modified BMW i3s . These conventional vehicles weigh roughly 2,000 pounds. Steve discusses future vehicles that could be much lighter. One concept is approximately 1,500 pounds , including the battery. The battery system is designed to provide roughly 10 hours of operating time . Building the Robot Noah has gone through multiple prototype versions. The team has learned from putting the robots into real-world environments. One of the challenges is that a robot can't assume every customer's property looks the same. It needs to navigate things such as: Rakes Landscaping Driveways Sidewalks Other obstacles The robot can also be modified for different environments, including the use of snow tires for winter conditions. The Technology Behind Noah Noah combines several technologies to understand its environment. Sensors LiDAR Sonar Cameras GPS Optical sensors The vehicle and robot use these systems to understand and map their surroundings. RTK — Real-Time Kinematic Positioning Steve discusses RTK , or Real-Time Kinematic positioning. The technology can dramatically improve location accuracy and allow the system to map an area with extremely high precision—down to approximately the centimeter level under suitable conditions. That matters when a robot needs to know: "Exactly where am I on this property?" rather than simply: "I'm somewhere near this address." A Bigger Robotics Trend Steve points out that similar technology is being used in other industries. One example is autonomous robotic lawnmowers . As sensors, computing power and other components become less expensive, technologies that once required expensive R&D can become commercially practical. NoTip is essentially applying some of those technologies to food delivery. Segment 3 - How Does an Autonomous Delivery Actually Work? Getting to the House Google Maps can be used to determine the vehicle's driving route. The vehicle handles the trip from the restaurant to the customer's neighborhood. The robot then handles the final portion of the delivery on the customer's property. Current Regulatory Approach During the current testing phase, there is still a driver behind the wheel of the autonomous vehicle . This allows NoTip to operate within the existing regulatory framework while testing its autonomous technology. The robot itself operates on the customer's property after receiving permission. Customer Permission Customers agree to allow the robot onto their property through the NoTip app. The system can collect information such as: Email address Phone number Property permission This creates a defined interaction between the customer and the autonomous delivery system. What's Next for NoTip? NoTip is currently testing and refining its technology. The company expects to continue improving both the robot and the vehicle platform. Future plans include: Additional cities Purpose-built EVs More autonomous robots Expanded manufacturing capabilities Steve discusses eventually building a 22,000-square-foot facility for manufacturing and development. That facility could support production of the company's three-wheel EV and robotic delivery systems. Phoenix is one city Steve has identified as a potential future market. NoTip expects to announce its next city in fall 2026 . The Bigger Idea The roads and delivery infrastructure already exist. Consumers already: Order food through apps Pay electronically Expect delivery Pay for convenience The question becomes: Can technology make the last mile faster, safer and less expensive? That's the problem NoTip is trying to solve.

  How to Get a Deal on Shark Tank w/ Tony Gonzales of Slick Barrier - Revisited AZ TRT S07 EP12 (294) 8-16-2026 What We Learned This Week Have Faith: 'You're not on Shark Tank until you're on Shark Tank' Have a Great Story: Power of a Story - PR & a great business story got them on Shark Tank Have a Great Product: Slick Barrier is pest control (not pesticide) applied to the base of the house Have a Plan: Lori Greiner / Home Shopping Queen - that was the Shark they wanted & got a deal Guest: Tony Gonzales – Slick Barrier – Attorney – Shark Tank https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonygonzalesesq/ https://www.slickbarrier.com/ As Seen On Shark Tank Now available at Bug and Weed Mart Retail Locations!

Click Here LinkedIn: Click Here YouTube channel: Click Here Shark Tank / Lori Greiner / Slick Barrier article: Click Here Shark Tank appearance video: Click Here Bio Article: Click Here Notes: Seg. 1 Partner is Aaron, they met as kids in Santa Fe New Mexico. Aaron created the Slick Barrier product. Tony is an attorney by trade. He was originally brought into the business by Aaron to work on the patent. They went into business together in 2013 with a company called Aversion. This was the marketing company to sell slack barrier. Tony worked in real estate business and contract law, and a grad of ASU. He had a general firm in Flagstaff AZ, then moved his office and family to Phoenix. At one point he was also doing criminal law. Tony is from the southwest, but had not seen any scorpions. Then his 3 year old son was stung by a scorpion in his home in Chandler, AZ. It was a very traumatic experience, with an overnight stay at the hospital. Tony joined Aaron full time in 2017, they incorporated and by 2018 they were selling, testing, and developing the product. Seg. 2 When you start the business, you usually operate as a sole proprietor. This is risky as you are personally liable for damages. If you form a partnership with someone, there are other risks, plus you still could be liable. Form an LLC (corporation), it's fast and easy and can be done online. After you setup the Corp., then register with the state and now you have a legal entity. Very scary starting a business, you take on risk so you need to know how to protect yourself, and your idea. You're incorporated, and now the business is responsible. This provides you with a legal shield, and it protects your assets (and your family). Shark Tank Previously Tony had tried to get on the Trump show, The Apprentice. He got an audition, but nothing further. Process for the Shark Tank is different. You apply to get on, and any business can apply. If approved, you go through a process which takes months to see if you will actually get on the show. Tony referenced the book - Third Door by Alex Banayan – about a college student on a quest to meet successful people and learn from them. The main message of the book is to find another way in. Tony found a back door. They produced content about their product Slick Barrier, and sent it to the producers. They were selling their idea to the people who would decide if they get on the show. The Producers of a show like Shark Tank need to determine, if a company will work well on TV. Is the product and business story good. They also have to consider that any company that comes on the show cannot embarrass the parent company, Disney. The process for going on Shark Tank is similar to raising capital. The standard capital raise is: you make a pitch, have to have a good story, need to have sales of your product, and be a viable company. When they were accepted for Shark Tank, they flew to California and filmed the episode. They did not know if it was going to air. Per Tony - 'You're not on Shark Tank until you're on Shark Tank'. They had applied to be on Shark Tank in May 2022. They were accepted in September 2022, and had 2 weeks to prepare before filming the episode that same month. The episode did not air until January 2023. All that time, they did not know when, or if the show would air. They also could not tell people that they were on Shark Tank. The people that knew were, Tony, his partner Aaron, and a patent attorney that they took with them for the filming. Oddly, when they were notified that they were going to be going to California to appear on Shark Tank it was via email that went to spam. Fortunately the Shark Tank Producer called also. They were notified in early January that the show was going to air and be on Shark Tank. They had 2 weeks to do the PR prep. They had to move fast to do their own PR to get the word out. Seg. 3 There are lots of rules from Shark Tank on how you can do your PR. They went to a whole bunch of local publications in Arizona and local TV. They lucked out because, both Nevada New Mexico picked up the story. Tony also appeared in the Arizona Foothills, and The Phoenix Business Journal with a 150K website, Three partners from New Mexico and some investors legitimize your business. Did they get a deal with a Shark? Yes, they got a $500K deal with Lori Greiner. Terms were for 15% equity, part cash, part loan. They had a plan going in, and Lori Greiner was the Shark they wanted. They did their research on Lori. They read her book, and knew what her expectations were for a potential deal. The whole time during the taping of the show they were focused on Lori, being careful to keep eye contact with her. Now post the deal, they are in the due diligence stage (as of Q1 – 2023). Tony has a background in law and politics, and now he is in pest control. In the past, pest control was all about pesticides. Now it's about pest management. Stop the pest from getting into the house. How does the pest get in the house? For example, a spider will roam the grounds near your house, finds a spot to crawl up the house, and eventually find a way in the wall. What does Slick Barrier do? Slick Barrier is a coating that you put around the house, about 8 inches off the ground. Pests and insects can't climb up the house anymore. It keeps out scorpions, spiders and rodents. Slick barrier is a non-pesticide physical barrier that is EPA approved. It is not labeled as a pesticide. Now families do not need to spray pesticides inside their house. It is safe and parent approved. It will not harm your pets or kids. Homebuilders could use it to spray on a new house. Seg. 4 New home builds often use a Taexx System in the walls. This is a tube system built in the walls, and then pesticides are sprayed in the tubes. This is a pretty good system. HomeTeam Pest Defense makes the Taexx System - https://pestdefense.com/ Slick barrier is better. You can do annual touchups with Slick Barrier. Then you could spray the backyard and the base of the house with pesticides if you want. You can spray the pesticides on the Slick Barrier area of the coating on the house. Why Lori Greiner? Lori understands brand new products from her years of selling products on the home shopping channel. She knows how to get them in the hands of consumers. She understands the public. They trust Lori, she can help. Lori has the contacts, and experience to market these types of products like Slick Barrier. They also knew that Lori had a past interest in pest control. Mr. Wonderful had stole a deal from her in 2020 (First Saturday Lime – eco-friendly insect repellant - HERE ). Tony said this looked like a pretty good product. PR is very powerful for any business, especially when you know how to tell your story. The Power of the story is what captures customers. Matt actually found Tony as a guest on BRT, through a story on LinkedIn talking about his appearance on Shark Tank. You start a business to solve a problem. Find your passion business. Why do you believe in your business? What's your story? You need to have a personal connection to the business. Just telling people my product is better, no one cares. They need to have the experience of your business. Why is your product different from other business? Why is it better? You need to know how people connect with your product. Show people your passions, and inspire them. Tony and his partner are working on a Good Scorpions campaign.

  Reinventing the Supply Chain with AI from Rail-to-Road w/ Kevin Damoa of GlidTech - AZ TRT S07 EP11 (293) 7-26-2026 What We Learned This Week The Biggest Supply Chain Problem Isn't Transportation—It's Handling Freight often changes hands multiple times before reaching its destination. Every transfer increases cost, delays, and complexity. America Already Has the Infrastructure Rather than building new rail systems, Glid Tech's strategy is to better utilize the thousands of miles of existing railroad infrastructure that are currently underused. AI Is Becoming a Logistics Manager Ezra 16 doesn't simply route vehicles—it evaluates weather, traffic, rail availability, and fleet positioning simultaneously to determine the most efficient route. Military Innovation Often Creates Commercial Opportunity The company's technology originated from solving dangerous military logistics problems before expanding into commercial transportation, continuing a long history of defense-driven innovation. The Future of Transportation Is Integration Instead of choosing between trucks or trains, the future may involve seamless transitions between both, allowing each mode to be used where it performs best. Guest: Kevin Damoa LKIN: HERE Website: https://www.glidtech.us/ Founder and CEO Glīd Technologies Kevin A. Damoa builds the systems that move what matters. Over two decades, he has carried mobility from the factory floor to the launch pad and onto the battlefield, advancing the hard logistics of rockets, aircraft, electric vehicles, and now autonomous road-to-rail freight. As Founder and CEO of Glīd Technologies, he is building the dual-mode autonomous infrastructure that connects the nation's roads and rails into a single logistics network. His operating discipline was forged in military service. Damoa enlisted in the US Army at seventeen, served two years in South Korea, and completed two combat tours in Iraq with the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, where he ran railhead logistics in a theater of war. He continued his service in the Air National Guard as a Logistics Officer and firefighter supporting California's Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System mission, retiring in 2018 after twelve years of concurrent service. Damoa joined SpaceX in 2012 as Flight Module Logistics Manager, where he built the logistics systems and programs behind a maturing launch operation and designed and deployed the transport apparatus that carried rockets from production to the launch site. Following a tour at Northrop Grumman as an Integration Program Manager on the F-35 program, he moved into senior operating leadership across a generation of clean-mobility companies, holding executive roles at Romeo Power, Xos Trucks, Canoo, and Serial 1, a Harley-Davidson brand. In each, he owned the unglamorous work that decides whether a product reaches the market: industrialization, supply chain, manufacturing deployment, and launch. In 2022, Damoa founded Glīd Technologies to solve a problem the freight system has carried for a century, the broken handoff between road and rail. Glīd designs and builds US-made autonomous dual-mode vehicles and the AI logistics orchestration software that directs them, serving commercial freight and national defense. The company is built on a granted dual-mode road-to-rail patent, is a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, and won the 2025 TechCrunch Disrupt Startup Battlefield. Damoa holds an MS in Mechanical Engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and an MBA in Project Management from Keller Graduate School of Management. He leads Glīd as both its CEO and its Architect, a reflection of his conviction that the people who set a company's direction should understand, in detail, how the thing is built. Notes: Summary Technical logistics and supply chain challenges were discussed along with prototype development and potential military applications. Supply Chain Efficiency Challenges Excessive handling requirements create significant dwell time in global shipping. Current infrastructure heavily relies on road transport due to rail inaccessibility, resulting in massive maintenance costs. Startup Prototypes and Technology The startup developed 4 prototypes featuring human-operated and autonomous vehicles alongside AI orchestration software. This technology utilizes existing rail and road infrastructure to enable seamless transport transitions. Military and Market Outlook Applying rail logistics to defense sectors aims to improve safety for military personnel by reducing reliance on road convoys. Future strategy balances defense and commercial growth across various sectors. Segment 1 · Definition of Supply Chain Challenges : Kevin Damoa identified that the core problem in the current supply chain is the inefficiency of moving goods due to excessive handling requirements. Noted that 72% of commercial freight is stuck on roads because rail is viewed as inaccessible, while the military faces similar issues, utilizing only 20% of their 44,000 miles of rail infrastructure. · Company Status and Prototypes : Kevin Damoa confirmed that Glidech is a startup that raised a pre-seed round the previous year and currently has 14 full-time employees. The company has developed four prototypes: two human-operated vehicles named "Glider M" that function on road and rail, and two autonomous vehicles named "Raiden". They also have an AI orchestration software tool called "Ezra 16," which provides transportation management, fleet tracking, and autonomous coordination. · Supply Chain Inefficiencies and "Touches" : Kevin Damoa detailed the complexity of global shipping, describing how goods undergo numerous transfers between boats, "hustler" trucks, cranes, and trains. They explained that this leads to significant "detention time" or "dwell time," where goods sit idle for weeks, often resulting in increased costs and the need for expensive expedited shipping. · Comparison of Road and Rail Infrastructure : Kevin Damoa highlighted that while trucks are more accessible, they contribute to congestion, pollution, and high road maintenance costs, citing that $105 billion is spent annually in the United States repairing roads damaged by 80,000-pound trucks. Conversely, they argued that rail infrastructure is simpler and cheaper to maintain using small crews, yet rail remains unattractive due to the difficulties in getting freight onto the system. Segment 2 · GlidTech Solution and Ezra 16 Capabilities : Kevin Damoa described Glidec as a hardware and software company that leverages existing infrastructure rather than creating new fixed systems. The "Ezra 16" software creates a digital twin environment that incorporates weather, road congestion, and rail allocation to determine the most efficient, safe, and cost-effective transport mode for goods. The goal is to facilitate seamless transitions between road and rail, avoiding the necessity of staying exclusively on one mode for the entire journey. · Origin of GliTech Technology : Kevin Damoa traced the origin of their technology to their personal military experience, specifically a process called "rail heading" while preparing for deployment in Iraq. They described the process as dangerous, slow, and cumbersome, requiring multiple pieces of heavy machinery and many people; Glidec was created to consolidate these steps into a single vehicle and one maneuver. · Technical Operation of Vehicles : Kevin Damoa explained the mechanics of the Glider M and Raiden vehicles, which feature specialized rail gear, 360-degree cameras, and sensors that use "positive recognition" to identify datums on the track. Once identified, the rail gear deploys, the steering wheel locks, and the vehicle operates on the rail; upon exit, the system triggers a release notification to return to road operation. · Safety and Integration with Rail Systems : Kevin Damoa noted that their technology patches into existing "positive train control" systems used by railroads. This allows their vehicles to receive time-slot allocations and operate dynamically, such as exiting the track to allow a train to pass before returning to the route. · Utilization of Infrastructure : Kevin Damoa emphasized that their approach leverages "the best of both worlds" by using road networks to navigate traffic and rail networks for faster transit in less developed or woodsy areas. This strategy utilizes existing, underused tracks rather than requiring the construction of new infrastructure. · Professional Background of Kevin Damoa : Kevin Damoa detailed their professional history, starting with military service in the Army and the Air Force National Guard, where they participated in firefighting operations. Their corporate background includes managing transportation and recovery operations for the first 17 SpaceX Falcon 9 vehicles, working as an engineer and program manager on the F-35 fighter jet program at Northrop Grumman, and holding roles in e-mobility at Romeo Power, Canoe, XOS Trucks, and Harley-Davidson's Serial 1. Segment 3 · Historical and Defense Context : Historical overview, noting that President Eisenhower used the Defense Act in the 1950s to develop the US highway system based on models like the German Autobahn. Kevin Damoa discussed how the Department of Defense currently relies heavily on road convoys despite owning 44,000 miles of rail, and noted that they aim to make this existing rail infrastructure more accessible to the military. · Military Safety and Operational Applications : Kevin Damoa highlighted that enabling rail transport could save soldiers' lives, citing that one out of ten logisticians in the military are casualties during combat supply operations. They further explained that their autonomous Raiden vehicles can operate in austere, desert, or underdeveloped locations, moving containerized supplies, weapons, or drone-manufacturing equipment without risking personnel. · Future Market Outlook : Looking ahead, Kevin Damoa projected a balanced growth strategy between commercial and defense sectors, noting interest from municipalities, states, countries, and industrial parks. Framed the future of the company around bridging the gap in the logistical workforce and providing a new transport mode, which they branded with the slogan, "Don't ship it, glide it". Segment 4 Clips from: Efficiency in the Supply Chain by a New Container Invention w/ Trevor Pan of BidBird AZ TRT S04 EP41 (204) 10-15-2023 Things We Learned This Week Malcolm McLean was the inventor of the shipping Container, and a key person in trade & globalization BidBird invented a container skin, a smooth panel for the side to reduce wind resistance & improve fuel efficiency Patent process and Patent Cooperation Treaty to register an invention in foreign countries Building a Prototype and doing a road test with a Truck plus a Container on a race track Show Link: HERE ** Preview clip of Trevor Pan Malcolm McLean and the History of the Container This leads to a new level of capitalism, modern globalization & wider trade Malcolm Mclean is the inventor of one of the most major inventions in history that affects people daily. He is also not known by many people despite the impact he has had. McLean owned a trucking company and he used to ship goods via boat. He'd be waiting on the docks with cotton in the 1940s in early 1950s for hours. Ships would be docked for a month, as men were loading crates by hand. The same system was being done with global trade and sea trade for thousands of years. Mclean got tired of this, and trying to figure out a solution to the problem like any entrepreneur. Find a need and fill it. January 1956 - he debuted the box ship. McLean got a $22 million loan & bought 2 World War II tankers and converted them. In April 1956 the first one sailed from New Jersey to Houston. This cut cost from 5.86 per to $.16, a 95% drop or 36 fold savings. Oct.1957 - the first real containership Gateway city launched. Trip went from New York to Florida to Texas and then on later to Puerto Rico. Per McLean, 'the ship makes money when at sea'. In 1963, container ports had been created, by 1966 in Europe, 1967 Vietnam had container service, and 1969 Hong Kong and more Southeast Asia. McLean got a patent which is shared, called – standardization, and the standardize size container for shipping. He created a company, called Sealand Industries - which was then bought by RJ Reynolds. Eventually they were mergers and oil companies that bought out the line and today it's owned by MAERSK . Goods are shipped today for pennies on the dollar, all because of McLean's invention. He changed global trade, shipping, oil exploration, and more. It's a multi trillion dollar invention. It also created port cities like Oakland. Every day it affects all sorts of goods and trades finance, big companies like Walmart and Apple. Not sure if we would have globalization if not for Mclean. At least not as fast.
