SideDrawer evolved out of a need we faced in our personal and business lives. We frequently found the need to exchange confidential, sensitive information like tax documents with an accountant or a financial advisor, but the only option was through unsecure email, or file sharing sites that offered a generally poor user experience. We also realized that Enterprises and startups who needed to improve their internal or clients' document collaboration offering did not have the ability to truly create their own experiences. They were forced into using storage platforms with limited functionality and interfaces, or they had storage solutions through their cloud providers but no workflows and everything had to be built from scratch. So, combining both problems resulted in SideDrawer becoming the first API-based infrastructure agnostic, document collaboration platform. Our platform serves individuals and businesses through our web and mobile document collaboration platform, and our APIs serve enterprises and fintechs with infrastructure-agnostic APIs that can be incorporated into a seamless user experience. To see if we are a fit for your business, please contact us at hello@sidedrawerinc.com.

If you believe the most important part of building prosperity is sustaining it… if you agree that flashy investment predictions usually amount to nothing more than a lot of noise and too much risk, then you’ll like the sound of what you hear at Leith Wheeler. Because we are a company that does not make noise. We make money. Quiet money. Si vous pensez que le plus important pour bâtir la prospérité est de la maintenir... si vous êtes daccord pour dire que les prévisions dinvestissement tape-à-lœil ne sont généralement rien dautre que beaucoup de bruit et trop de risques, alors vous aimerez ce que vous entendrez chez Leith Wheeler. Parce que nous sommes une entreprise qui ne fait pas de bruit. Des placements judicieux.
