The team

Built by operators,
for operators.

Sidecar was founded by someone running a trades business — and shaped by advisors who have done the same. We build software we'd want to use ourselves.

Founder

Blue Thomas

Blue Thomas

Founder

Blue runs a painting business in North Carolina alongside his brother. When the platform he needed to actually operate it didn't exist, he built one — pulling from two decades of experience as a CTO and co-founder across multiple software companies.
