Policy strategy and execution for breakout mobility startups

We handle the policy and regulations so you can focus on building your business.

Headquartered in Washington, DC, Catapult Policy Strategies (formerly Shared Mobility Strategies) provides strategic guidance and tactical execution to clients across the country launching new industries, facing regulatory challenges, and looking to capitalize on policy and funding opportunities. We leverage experience from the public sector, start-ups, and Wall Street to help our clients deliver on their business objectives and their vision for future mobility. 

We are more than just another hired lobbyist, we roll up our sleeves as integral members of our clients’ teams to develop and execute successful, scalable, and cost-effective policy and government affairs plans.

How Can We Help?

Success for mobility companies depends on understanding and appreciating unique local  and state rules and regulations as well as local officials’ and stakeholder preferences, local customs and public opinion—both written and unwritten.  

We are here to help you respond to urgent challenges:

• Scaling in multiple new markets with vastly different rules, processes, and requirements

• Unfavorable pending regulatory or legislative developments

• A competitor trying to advance public policy that interferes with your ability to do business

• An ambiguous regulatory environment for a new technology

But we are also here to help you be proactive:

• Understand the local, state, and federal policy landscape

• Build partnerships and relationships with key policymakers and influencers

• Seek out markets that have a favorable policy climate for testing or deployment

• Establish a positive image in the eyes of regulators, organizations, and customers to enable future growth
