Seems like anything can get funding these days. I love how they say this is better than running zoom or Google meet on an iPad. Give users a mediocre android tablet with similar software and charge 25 dollars per user per month!? The founders clearly haven't thought about the asynchronous nature of remote work and even companies want an always connected environment, I don't know why they would want this product!

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 room. Sidekick does a really good job at maximizing the chances you're not alone -- I talk about some of the features in the original post.

Totally agree it's not for everyone, especially those users that are really happy with asynchronous work.

For 5 users, it seems like it would be a waste -- easy enough to hand-hold everyone through setting up a tablet. For 5000 people, I could see paying someone else to manage the technology and providing a 'one-click' solution.
