AI-powered SMS assistant for deskless workers.

Sidekick is an AI-powered SMS assistant for frontline workers in manufacturing, auto dealerships, and retail. The idea came from Justin's father, who owns a manufacturing facility and asked him to build a tool to help with worker onboarding, training, and organizing company knowledge. Workers text questions in any language and get instant answers from their company's documents — no app, no login, works on any phone. They can send photos of equipment for instant identification or voice memos when their hands are dirty or they're wearing gloves. Managers upload documents and record video walkthroughs; Sidekick automatically generates step-by-step tutorials and a searchable knowledge base. When Sidekick can't answer, it escalates to the manager via SMS and learns from the response, getting smarter with every interaction.

As reported in public records reported — not modeled.

Solid bars are reported offering amounts reported; hatched bars are the modeled post-money valuation est. — both on one shared scale so you can read raise-vs-worth at each round directly. Use the toggles to overlay data labels and the niche-peer / market average value lines.

No round amounts on record to chart.

No staged rounds to sequence.

Round size and date are reported; the stage label is inferred from round size. Valuation is modeled from stage benchmarks. Directional, not a quoted figure.

Not enough modeled valuation points to chart a trajectory.

Benchmarked against 2067 companies in AI / ML. Each bar is a median (the middle company, not an average — outliers don't skew it). Two yardsticks: real money raised (reported on Form D) and modeled value (our estimate est.). These are whole-sector medians across all stages, except the per-stage row.

Raised more than 62% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 62% of peers (estimate).

Stage is inferred from round size est., not reported on the filing — a round's dollar size maps to a bucket: Pre-Seed <$1.0M · Seed $1.0M–$4.0M · Series A $4.0M–$15M · Series B $15M–$40M · Series C $40M–$100M · Series D+ $100M–$400M · Growth/Late >$400M.

Predictive signals are modeled est. from this company's own cadence and step-up, plus sector benchmarks — directional, not advice. Peer set and a CSV export live in your analyst workspace.

Sidekick is an official record sourced from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). U.S. data is aggregated from SEC Form D filings.

Nearest neighbours across the whole database — matched on sector, stage and capital scale, and on shared operators (officers or directors named at both companies in public filings). A discovery shortlist, not a valuation cohort — verify before acting, the same way modeled figures are directional.

Matched by meaning, not labels — a local language model reads each company's name, sector and description and ranks the closest in that learned space. This catches look-alikes that cross sector boundaries; the structured list above explains its matches, this one trusts the text. Directional, like every modeled signal here.
