We’re SIDEKICK, a venture studio built to go all in with founders, shoulder to shoulder, stride for stride. We back bold pre-seed startups with capital, strategy, and street-smart know-how – helping them build with focus and scale at speed.
Like all great sidekick partnerships, progress happens when the right energy collides. We don’t just advise – we build together.
Our 18-month venture process is battle-tested in the real world, giving founders the structure, speed, and clarity to launch and scale with success.
We only work with founders operating in cyber, national security, and defence – sectors where the stakes are high and the problems are complex. If you’re building solutions that make systems safer, nations stronger, and infrastructure more resilient, then we’re all in.
Based in Gloucestershire, SIDEKICK sits at the centre of the UK’s leading cyber cluster – home to GCHQ, 7,000+ specialists, and the emerging Golden Valley cyber campus. We’re perfectly placed to help build the next generation of high-impact startups in cyber and deeptech.
