• Client: Slidr
• Founder & CEO: Michael Trombino
• Industry: Microtransit & Micromobility Solutions‍
• Key Wins: West Virginia University & City of Hallandale Beach Meetings in First 72 Hours

Background

Slidr is redefining how communities, campuses, and cities move. With all-electric microtransit shuttles and micromobility options like scooters, mopeds, and e-bikes, Slidr provides cost-effective, sustainable, and flexible transportation solutions.

While the service is highly innovative, expanding into new cities and campuses requires precision targeting — finding decision-makers, identifying opportunities, and knowing exactly where competitors are operating or where demand is emerging. That’s where NationGraph came in.

The Challenge

As a fast-growing mobility company, Slidr needed:

• Immediate access to relevant contacts in universities, city transit offices, and municipal governments.
  
• Competitive intelligence to pinpoint where current microtransit programs are in place — and where Slidr’s superior offering could win market share.
  
• Proactive opportunity detection for agencies that have discussed microtransit in meetings but have yet to implement a program.
  
• Funding visibility to leverage available grants for closing deals in later sales stages.
  
• Ongoing intelligence to track market shifts, opportunities, and competitor activity without spending hours in research.
  

The NationGraph Impact In Michael’s Words

How quickly did you start seeing results with NationGraph?

“I knew NationGraph would be valuable, but I didn’t expect to see results this fast. Within the first three days of using the platform, I had meetings lined up with West Virginia University and the City of Hallandale Beach, Florida. That’s unheard of in our space.”

What was your onboarding experience like?

“The onboarding was seamless — we were up and running in no time. The interface makes it incredibly easy to pull the exact contacts we need to fuel our outreach. I can filter for the right decision-makers in minutes.”

How does NationGraph help you understand your competition?

“What’s game-changing for us is NationGraph’s ability to map our competitors’ footprint. I can see exactly where other microtransit companies are operating and position Slidr as the better, more cost-effective, more sustainable solution.”

How are you identifying new opportunities before they go public?

“What's even more powerful is finding the agencies that don’t yet have a microtransit program but have talked about it in public meetings in the past year. That’s gold for our sales team — we can be first in the door before an RFP even exists.”

How does NationGraph support you through the sales cycle?

“As deals progress, having visibility into available grants we can help our partners tap into makes it easier to get projects funded and contracts signed. It’s like having a GPS for public sector sales.”

Daily Signals: Staying in Front of the Market

“Every morning, NationGraph delivers fresh, relevant signals straight to my inbox. I see which agencies are talking about microtransit, where competitors are active, and even new funding announcements — all without lifting a finger. It’s like getting a personal market briefing before my day even starts. That constant stream of intelligence means I’m never caught off guard and can act on opportunities the moment they appear.”

This daily feed ensures Slidr can track:

• Emerging opportunities before competitors.
  
• Shifts in demand as agencies discuss mobility needs in meetings.
  
• Competitor wins and expansions to target with a better offer.
  
• New grant announcements to strengthen proposals and speed up contracting.
  

Results in 72 Hours

• 2 High-Value Meetings Secured: WVU & City of Hallandale Beach.

• Funding Intelligence: Grant opportunities flagged for use in late-stage deal closing.
  
• Ongoing Market Awareness: Daily intelligence delivered directly to the CEO’s inbox.
  

Conclusion

Slidr’s early success with NationGraph shows the power of targeted intelligence in public sector sales. With faster onboarding, sharper targeting, and access to competitive and funding insights — plus a steady stream of daily market signals — Slidr is now positioned to accelerate expansion into new cities and campuses nationwide.

Michael Trombino sums it up best:

“NationGraph isn’t just a tool — it’s an unfair advantage.”
