Super Powers Mobility (SPM) growth playbook

Add a short "For contracting officers and primes" block at the top of /how-to-buy and in the site footer: legal name, UEI and CAGE code (or a clear note on registration status), primary NAICS codes for battery and vehicle manufacturing and engineering services, small-business status, Pittsburgh address, accepted payment paths (including government purchase cards where allowed), and a downloadable one-page capability statement covering the PEK, EVK, custom development, demonstrations and contact details. If the SAM.gov registration is not yet active, complete it first; it is free and it is the gate for most of the buying paths the page lists.

Government buyers and prime supply-chain teams check a new vendor's identifiers before anything else. Putting them on the page removes an email round trip at the moment of highest interest, lets a champion forward one link and one PDF inside their unit, and makes SPM findable in vendor searches. It also backs up the page's own claim that the products are "sold to the public today".

• Registration is still pending

  Say so on the page and offer purchase through a prime meanwhile.

• Capability statement drifts out of date

  Date it and review it every quarter.

• Your websiteHow to buy: the EVK and PEK are "sold to the public today" and commercial-item procedures may apply; quotes from one unit to a fleet, rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimates, evaluation units, and direct purchase or purchase through a prime; custom programs via direct award, OTA, SBIR/STTR, subcontracting to a prime or commercial engineering agreements.

No datasheet, price, lead time or standards are listed, unlike the PEK page, which has a brochure.Source
• Y CombinatorCompany profile: Fall 2026 batch, founded 2023, team of 4, Pittsburgh; started by building 470V off-road EVs, then shifted to battery packs and power export systems for military and consumer use; reports over $400,000 in contracted revenue since it started direct sales; listed news includes "Pittsburgh startup pitches EV kit to elite troops" (July 18, 2026).Source

Publish a two-page EVK datasheet: motor, inverter, battery options (10 and 20 kWh), the five configurations, export-power outputs and voltages, weights, compatible platforms, install time, thermal-signature claim with test conditions, and contact details. Link it next to "Request an EVK quote".

A datasheet is what gets forwarded to the engineer and the budget holder who never visit the site. It also answers the first technical questions before the call.

• Specs still changing

  Version and date the sheet.

Set one "from" price for the 10 kWh and 20 kWh EVK and a budgetary range for the PEK per 15 kWh pack, show them on /evk, /pek and SPM.FUN, and ask Fuel2Electric to match. For government buyers, add "ROM in two business days" next to the price.

Published starting prices pre-qualify inquiries, help a program office budget before it calls, and stop partner listings from setting the price anchor.

The page lists no UEI, CAGE code, NAICS codes, contract vehicles, capability statement, prices or lead times; the only next step is the inquiry form or [email protected].Source

Add a "Download power budget" button that produces a one-page PDF: the equipment list and wattage, total load, packs needed, runtime, assumptions (90% usable capacity, 90% conversion efficiency), weight, the matching PEK configuration, a budgetary price range and SPM's identifiers. Sending the profile to SPM stays as the second button and pre-fills the quote form.

In government buying, the internal champion has to justify the purchase on paper. Giving them a ready-made, specific document makes SPM the default answer in that paper, and every downloaded budget is a warm lead with the load already defined.

• Runtime estimates taken as guarantees

  Keep the page's existing caveats on load profile, temperature and duty cycle.

Set reply targets by answer: "immediate and funded" the same business day, "within 6 months" in one business day, exploratory in three. Show the target on the thank-you message, route funded inquiries to the founder's phone, and auto-send the capability statement and relevant datasheet at once.

Funded requests usually go to several vendors at once; the first credible technical reply often sets the requirement. A stated reply time also builds trust in a small team.

• Small team misses targets during travel

  Set a backup responder for travel weeks.

Pick the correct year and add a facts box on /about: legal name, founded, headquarters and shop location, team size, backers, identifiers (from idea 1), products and contact. Keep it identical on SPM.FUN and in the capability statement.

Consistent basic facts are the cheapest trust signal for a young supplier and help search engines and AI assistants describe SPM correctly.

• Different dates are both true (incorporation vs. product start)

  State both plainly.

• #1 Put a procurement block on How to Buy: UEI, CAGE code, NAICS codes and a one-page capability statement

Add /careers with both roles, salary ranges, the on-site Pittsburgh shop, the products they will build (470 V packs, PEK modules, in-house BMS) and photos of the shop. Link it in the footer and on About, and post it to local engineering programs and Formula SAE teams (the design role already prefers Formula SAE leadership).

For a four-person company, the next two hires decide how fast it can deliver orders. A careers page also tells buyers SPM is scaling production, not just prototyping.

• Page goes stale after hires

  Mark roles filled the same day.

Add /compliance with a table per product: standard, scope, status (designed to, tested in-house, third-party tested, certified), and date. Cover power quality, interfaces, ingress, shock and vibration, EMI, transport of lithium batteries and sourcing (NDAA cell origin), with only the claims SPM can document.

A dated, honest matrix shortens technical vetting, shows primes where SPM fits, and makes the test roadmap a sales tool.

• Showing gaps

  Show dates for planned tests; buyers prefer honesty to surprises.

Publish /field-record: a dated list of demonstrations and shows (described generically where units cannot be named), with photos, the EVK video, the measured results that can be shared (runtime, export kW, noise), and links to press. Add a "Request a demonstration" button.

For a young supplier, evidence of real hardware in real conditions is what moves an evaluation forward; a dated record also shows momentum.

Create "PEK Evaluation" and "EVK Evaluation": a fixed price (credited toward a fleet order), a 60- or 90-day term, delivery and training, a simple test plan (runtime, noise, thermal, charging) and a joint results report. Put it on /pek, /evk and /how-to-buy as its own button.

A small, fixed-price evaluation fits small purchase budgets and creates the test data that justifies the follow-on order.

• Units tied up without orders

  Charge for evaluations and cap how many run at once.

• #1 Put a procurement block on How to Buy: UEI, CAGE code, NAICS codes and a one-page capability statement

Publish a page for MRZR-class operators and program offices: what each option adds (power, voltage outputs, weight, silent runtime), how SPM's pack mounts on vehicles already in service, and which loads need more than 5 kW. Position it as a complement to the vehicle, not a replacement, and offer the same to Polaris as a supplier.

A buyer who has just seen the value of exportable power is the easiest one to sell more power to, and retrofit avoids waiting for new vehicles.

• Seen as attacking a likely partner

  Frame it as adding power to their vehicle.

• #2 Give the EVK a downloadable datasheet like the PEK brochure

• Competitor researchThe Defense Post (May 26, 2026): the US Marine Corps awarded Polaris a five-year contract worth up to $98 million for MRZR Alpha production, including for the first time a 5 kW exportable power variant at 24 V (the standard variant offers 1 kW); more than 500 MRZR Alphas are in USMC service.See the research Source

Publish /integrators: public interface summaries (NATO slave, M40/M60 receptacles, 28 V DC, 120/208 V AC, 470 V traction), mounting envelopes, comms and controls options, integration support, production capacity and the teaming paths SPM supports. Offer a teaming-agreement template and a technical intro call.

Selling through primes multiplies a four-person team's reach and fits programs that will not buy directly from a startup.

• Primes ask for controlled detail

  Keep public data public and move the rest to proper channels, as the site already advises.

Add /unmanned-systems: the voltage and energy range SPM designs (3.6 V to 800 V, up to 100 kWh), the module building blocks (1s5p to 14s9p), in-house BMS, and what a custom pack program looks like, with the same inquiry form tagged "unmanned". Add the option to the form's area-of-interest list.

Unmanned systems need custom, high-density packs in volume, which is exactly the module production SPM is scaling; one page opens a market the company already serves.

Create three short landing pages with the same specs translated into their terms: hours of lighting or tools per pack, noise compared with a generator, indoor and fume-free use, charging from shore power, and a runtime example for each. Run small search campaigns on "silent generator" and "battery generator for film sets".

Commercial buyers decide faster and in smaller amounts than government, which smooths revenue while defense programs take time.

• Price too high against rental generators

  Lead with rental (idea 22) or total cost over a season.

Set up saved searches on the federal SBIR and innovation-unit portals for topics on exportable power, silent watch, hybrid tactical vehicles, unmanned-system batteries and energy storage. Review weekly, keep a short go/no-go sheet, and pre-write reusable proposal sections (team, facility, PEK and EVK results).

Topics often describe exactly what SPM already builds; a ready library of proposal sections turns a short submission window into a feasible bid.

• Proposals pull engineers off production

  Bid only topics that fund work already planned.

Write one reseller pack: list prices and margins, deposit and refund rules, delivery windows, install training, the datasheet, approved photos and copy, and lead routing (resellers get commercial leads in their area). Sign two or three UTV shops beyond Fuel2Electric and list them on SPM.FUN.

Shops that already install UTV parts can sell and fit kits locally, which a small Pittsburgh team cannot do nationally.

• Install quality varies

  Certify installers before listing them.

• #2 Give the EVK a downloadable datasheet like the PEK brochure
• #3 Publish one EVK starting price and make spm.us, SPM.FUN and partner listings agree

Create or tidy the company LinkedIn page, link it from spm.us, and post one short hardware clip a month: a PEK runtime test, an EVK silent drive-by, a pack build in the shop, a demo recap. Reuse each clip on the field record page (idea 9).

Regular proof of real hardware builds credibility with the slow-moving audience that will buy in 6-12 months, and helps hiring.

At every show, put a QR code on the hardware that opens the runtime calculator with an event tag. Visitors enter their loads; SPM follows up within 48 hours with their power budget (idea 4), the datasheet and an evaluation offer (idea 10).

A follow-up based on the visitor's own load is far more specific than a generic thank-you, and the event tag shows which shows pay off.

• Poor signal at venues

  Have a tablet with the calculator at the booth.

• #4 Turn the PEK runtime calculator result into a printable power budget a program office can attach to a funding request

• Your websiteElectric Vehicle Kit page: bolt-on electric or series-hybrid drivetrain for any UTV, including MRZR-class vehicles; up to 15 kW of power export; 165 hp peak and 162 lb-ft; thermal signature "around one-fifth" of combustion; five battery/range-extender configurations from Lightest to All-electric; silent power export demonstrated to special operations forces on MRZR-class vehicles and shown at TEVCON; a YouTube video of the kit in a Polaris RZR XP1000. No datasheet, price, lead time or standards are listed, unlike the PEK page, which has a brochure.Source

Design a skid or container product from standard PEK modules: 100-500 kWh, three-phase output, generator and solar inputs, and a simple remote monitor. Run it with one government or commercial site as a paid pilot, measuring generator hours and fuel saved.

It reuses the modules SPM is already scaling, so more volume lowers cost across every product, and fuel saved is a measurable, budget-friendly benefit.

• Stationary safety and certification costs

  Start with temporary and off-grid sites before grid-tied ones.

• #8 Publish a compliance matrix: what each product meets, what is tested, what is in progress

Package the EVK drivetrain (motor, inverter, 470 V pack, BMS, thermal, harness) as an OEM and upfitter offer with integration engineering, a production-capacity plan in Pittsburgh and a reference vehicle. Target smaller UTV makers and military upfitters first, where an outside powertrain is most welcome.

Supplier volume is what lowers pack cost, and an OEM program turns SPM's hardware into recurring production revenue rather than custom projects.

• OEMs build in-house

  Start with makers too small to justify their own EV program.

• #2 Give the EVK a downloadable datasheet like the PEK brochure
• #12 A page for primes and integrators with interface data and a subsystem-supplier offer

Build a small fleet of PEKs for daily and weekly rental in the Pittsburgh region, then through rental-house partners elsewhere. Price against diesel generator rental plus fuel and include delivery and charging. Use rental days to build field data and convert repeat renters to buyers.

Rental removes the upfront cost barrier, earns recurring revenue from the same hardware, and creates a stream of commercial users and data the defense pitch can cite.

• Capital tied up in inventory

  Start with evaluation units and partner rental houses.

• Damage and charging logistics

  Deliver charged units and collect them.

• Your websiteHow to buy: the EVK and PEK are "sold to the public today" and commercial-item procedures may apply; quotes from one unit to a fleet, rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimates, evaluation units, and direct purchase or purchase through a prime; custom programs via direct award, OTA, SBIR/STTR, subcontracting to a prime or commercial engineering agreements. The page lists no UEI, CAGE code, NAICS codes, contract vehicles, capability statement, prices or lead times; the only next step is the inquiry form or [email protected].Source

Offer one PEK on a 90-day loan to a city or county emergency-management office for shelters, cooling centers or public events, with a simple logbook (hours, loads, generator fuel avoided). Publish the results with permission and use them for other cities and utilities.

Local governments buy through simpler processes, value home-grown manufacturers, and give public references that federal customers often cannot.

• No budget to buy afterwards

  Agree a purchase or lease option at the start.

Write three short profiles without names where needed: the type of customer (for example "a defense integrator" or "an industrial customer"), the problem, what SPM built, timeline from inquiry to delivery, and measured results. Ask each customer whether a name or quote can be added later.

Even anonymized, specific stories of paid delivery reduce the perceived risk of buying from a four-person company.

• Customers decline

  Publish a combined summary of work types and volumes instead.

Add a hidden source field to every form (site, page, campaign, partner, event tag), keep one shared inquiry sheet or CRM for both sites, and review monthly which sources produce quotes and orders. Use it to decide where to spend the next month's effort.

With few inquiries, each one matters; knowing which page produced a funded buyer tells a founder-led team what to repeat.

• Too few inquiries to read patterns

  Review quarterly as well as monthly.
