Sidepocket Inc., DBA ‘Sidepocket Financial’, is a venture-backed deep-tech company and SEC-Registered Investment Advisor (‘RIA’). Theres a 7.1 trillion retirement crisis, social security is estimated to run out by 2034, and financial literacy rates are a staggering low of 16%. In 2022, the outdated investing strategies available to the 99% saw their worst performance in 100 years. Meanwhile, digital creators have become the new trusted sources for financial information—48% of Americans cite social media as their source of financial education. But, creators werent equipped with the tools, support, and strategies to absorb this important and newfound responsibility. Digital creators, akin to athletes, often experience uncertain career spans typically lasting less than a decade, inconsistent income opportunities from promotional deals, and lack access to reliable passive income streams that can outlast their careers. Sidepocket is the only Creator-first solution helping creators and their fans to achieve financial freedom safer and sooner. Sidepocket gives creators everything they need to build and secure their wealth for the long-term, empowering them to share their journey and newfound financial knowledge with their fans, unlocking new passive revenue streams that can accelerate their path to financial freedom. We believe that by empowering the modern financial educator (digital creators), Sidepocket can positively impact the financial literacy and wealth disparity crisis.

We created Peekshare because we want to promote genuine connections between friends. We want to create a space where users can share and be themselves by providing them privacy and control. We strive to do this by designing Peekshare as an attractive yet simple tool with features for everyone. Our team embraced the bold idea that we don’t need profiles to be present on a social network. We believe Peekshare will make it easier than ever to use pictures to strike up a conversation and keep in touch with friends. We built the app around the idea that users thrive off receiving feedback from the content they share. The views, likes, and commentary received from each picture are stored only by the user who posted. We also realize the value in creating community, which is why Peekshare is optimized for a network of friends and also a local network. Users have the opportunity to see whats happening around them and participate in sharing relevant content. Their identity will remain secret from other users when using the local network. We hope Local will increase engagement among users and motivate them to share in others​ ridiculous, inspiring, and everyday moments. It is our vision that Peekshare will help strengthen friendships, build new ones and enable users to share as much of their life as they wish. We want people to know that we care about how things look and work within our app. Most importantly, we care about our users and are focused on delivering a quality user experience. We invite you to use our product and peekshare the moment!
