Sidekicks is a fast moving series-A funded tech startup founded by Pulitzer Prize-winning Journalist, Ron Suskind. Our groundbreaking technology uses a combination of AI, Machine Learning and Natural Language Understanding to create a new way for users to share and discuss content they love, such as TV, movies and sports, in real time. These interactions, through human-infused avatars, humans and increasingly sentient AI chat-bots, create an enriched experience that adds value to content of all kinds.

Mr. Suskind started Sidekicks after tapping insights from his family’s 20-year investigation of how to unlock and feed the capacities of those, like his son, with autism. The signature discovery of his bestselling book, Life, Animated, and the Academy Award-nominated movie made from it, is how those with autism – now one in four people – are “extreme versions of the rest of us” in their ability to draw meaning from their passions, or affinities, and apply it to their lives. Of course, this is what everyone does with increasing intensity in the information-drenched, connected world. What we’ve built for the “at need” communities will have enormous applications for the general population.
