Grido

Founding Team, Product & Operations

Built EV charging infrastructure from the ground up — 1,000+ deployed devices and partnerships with Uber Jump, Lime, Bird, and Rivian.

Context

Micro-mobility was booming but most operators were burning cash without solving operational fundamentals — fleet maintenance, charging logistics, and city compliance. We started Grido with the thesis that operational discipline could compete against well-funded incumbents.

Challenge

EV charging infrastructure is a hardware + operations problem. Devices break, cities change regulations, and partners demand reliability. We had to build systems for deployment, monitoring, and maintenance — all on a startup budget.

What we did

Takeaways

Hardware businesses live and die by operations. The tech is the easy part

Partner integrations at scale require productized onboarding, not custom work

City compliance is a competitive moat that most startups ignore
