## Concepts while the product looked for its market

At the time the product was hunting for product-market fit and testing a different idea. We ran design concepts and interface work through that stretch. Sidekick went on to raise $4M.

We shaped the concepts while the product was still looking for market fit. It went on to raise $4M.
