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.
