Our guest today is Chris Ake, the founder and CEO of Sidekick AI. Headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Sidekick helps people manage their meetings by augmenting the process with AI. Scheduling a meeting can be a frustrating experience, and Sidekick aims to streamline this process with natural language processing.

Chris is a serial entrepreneur and built several companies before starting Sidekick with his co-founders Jon Butler and Nathan Jean. In this episode, we talk about the challenges of building an AI assistant, why it is critical to get to market early and iterate, what was the most challenging time for Chris on his entrepreneurial journey, and what makes a great team of co-founders.
