Sidekick (YC S20) is a new device that lets teammates work side by side during set coworking sessions. Teams at Coinbase, Brex, and Eventbrite use Sidekick to build strong team relationships while remote.
We have used Sidekick for our remote team all day, everyday for months. It's an easy way to feel a sense of presence, connectedness, and camaraderie with our team.

Sidekick literally brought me back into the "hacker house" with my co-founders (digitally), allowing us to constantly communicate and always stay in sync with ease. I probably have ~10 short conversations a day using Sidekick, and it is, by far, the most effective tool I've used to keep our founder communication going strong. Awesome product, awesome team behind it.
Thank you so much, Sidekick team!
Sidekick is by far the easiest and fastest way to get a hold of someone - just tap and chat! We use it to easily communicate between us (the founders) and it really helps us feel like we're "together" even in a remote world! :)
Love it! 🙌

We've been using Sidekick for many months now and it has been the most important remote work tool we've tried by far. We're a small team where pre-remote work all you had to do was spin your chair around in the office to speak with someone so going full remote was very challenging for us at first. There was enough of a hurdle to message someone on Slack, post a meeting link and wait for them to join that we found we weren't having the short, "I just had an idea", or "could you help me really quick so I don't spend an hour trying to figure this out myself" conversations we used to have which really started scaring us so we gave Sidekick a try and haven't felt the need to look for any other remote work tools since.
