Thanks, let us know if you have any questions. We'd love to help you guys out.

Thanks! Let us know if you have any questions, we'd love to set you guys up.

Thanks for the data point! It's definitely not for everyone, but the teams that actually need to be in the same room really love Sidekick.

Yes that's really helpful. As a software engineer by trade, I totally understand wanting to maintain flow. Someone else in the thread talked about how to find the balance between w…

Thanks for the data point. Yeah to be honest we do really well with very tight-knit teams right now. Cofounders are generally already good friends.

That's great feedback. Honestly, we haven't set up a team larger than 5 at this point. However, I also believe that 3-5 is roughly the amount of people who you actually work really…

Makes sense! We're also looking for other markets to expand into so that's really helpful.

Super cool idea! Will definitely reach out.

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, we're going for a different use case than Facebook Portal or other dedicated hardware devices with video are. We're not just trying to make meetings e…

Wow that's quite the creative setup. And yes, something about having a dedicated device makes it a lot less frictionful.

we totally agree!

We should have probably flagged the number of conversations in the original post, that's good feedback. We're on average seeing 20 new conversations per day. We've built a bunch of…

Yes, we ship international! For more details, go to our website: https://sidekick.video/

That's really cool! Have you expanded beyond your cofounders? And are you guys still using it for always-on? Also, how do you guys handle knowing when you can talk to the other per…

Great idea! We're thinking about calendar integration so something like that could be awesome.

hasn't been a problem yet, but definitely something we're thinking about!

Thanks for the feedback. We actually talked to a bunch of teams that tried the Zoom on an iPad route and it usually failed because it was really hard to get the team in the same ro…

We talked to a bunch of teams that tried this. It's really hard to get people into the call at the same time. Eventually, there are enough bad experiences of being alone that peopl…

Thanks for the feedback. We're definitely thinking about adding more privacy features. We're on the same page that Sidekick isn't for everyone. It's great for those teams that want…

Thanks! and yes we totally agree. Sidekick isn't for everyone. For the people that do miss being around others, we want to bring back some of that joy. Feel free to reach out if yo…

We actually recommend using Screen.so for this: https://screen.so/ It's way faster than setting up a Zoom. All you do is type in /screen and it starts a share! Here's a loom we mad…

Thanks! It always warms my heart to hear from other cofounders who experience this pain. Please reach out if you have any more questions!

Thanks for the feedback! Agree that for a portion of the remote work force, asynchronous communication is probably effective. Teams that love Sidekick need to be always talking as …

Thanks for the feedback, we're still really early so this datapoint is really helpful. Sidekick works really well for teams that need to be always communicating real-time. This isn…

From our experience, the best collaboration doesn't happen during planned meetings. It happens during spontaneous conversations and that's what we're trying to bring back.
