I founded the company, learned a ton (1st time CEO), and now/still serve on the board. We became known as a retargeting platform, and remain a reasonably well-known retargeting++ platform.

I advise and/or have invested in several different early stage startups.

More active pre-2021. I love to meet/jam with founders to discuss product, growth, and strategy.

Sidekicks is a studio/applied research lab working on voice technology.

Projects released:

Avocado (PlusAvocado.com)

• Most AI is built for handling commands -- Avocado is built to deliver outcomes. Whether it is for teamwork or your work, voice + transcription ensures tasks get done. It's an easier, faster, simpler way to communicate and get jobs done.

Bounce (Meetbounce.com)

• AI Robot that empowers users to screen their calls - know who is calling and why, via an interactive software robot that gathers information from callers and can answer callers questions.

The driving belief behind our projects: all knowledge workers will have a set of 'sidekicks' — their own trusty (AI) helpers — working alongside them.

Avocado adds voice commands to Slack.

Avocado is built for assigning different tasks to teammates quickly. It offers a faster, easier way to delegate/hand-off/collaborate on a specific task/assignment/reminder for somebody on your team... and meant for that moment of turning a free second into a productive one (in between meetings, driving in the car or walking between the office and the coffee shop).

What makes Avocado unique is that it sets up an action item between you and anyone else on your team with a voice command, then tracks status and handles reminders automatically. When users want mobile/on-the-go productivity -- Avocado affords the simplicity of having task-assignment/completion integrated into work tools (Slack, email).

As part of the "platform" we built individual "assists" and put them in the App Store to showcase newly achievable "voice outcomes": https://apps.apple.com/us/developer/sidekicks-inc/id1232518310
