Founder
Glydways
Brisbane, CA, United States
Grounded in the belief that ingenuity and innovation should be applied to solving real world problems, Mark Seeger has dedicated his entrepreneurial journey to providing innovative value for solutions to today’s climate crisis. With the conviction that the world’s biggest problems require infrastructural evolution on a much larger scale, Mark discovered possibly an opportunity of a century: reinventing the concept of public transit, using existing infrastructure.
Glydways was founded in 2016 to activate this vision: a form of public transit that can move more people than rail, using less than half of the space, which costs 90% less to both build and operate. Most crucially, this solution can be delivered with commodity technology leveraging existing supply chains. Born in the Netherlands, Mark has spent equal parts of his life in Holland, Singapore, and the United States, giving him insight and experience into regional opportunities and challenges that exist to dramatically change how we as a society move.
Prior to founding Glydways, Mark had early careers at NASA and Apple; founded the biodegradable plastics company GreenIdea in Singapore (sold); the electric motorcycle company Mission Motorcycles and Mission Marine; as well built initiatives that focused on low-cost, high-efficiency air-conditioning for third-world countries with his company GeoCool (sold).
Mark holds a MBA and MS in Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and is currently residing in Brisbane, CA.
