August 4, 2025
Sidekick Robotics, Inc. is incorporated
Mark and Andrew incorporate Sidekick Robotics, Inc. in their Stanford University graduate dorm room.
September 2025 - August 2026
The prototype takes shape
Heads down prototyping builds a self-improving robotic application and reveals the infrastructure gap in physical AI deployment. The team works with open robotic AI models and low-cost robot arms.
September 2026
The Sidekick Robotics Platform™ launches
Sidekick launches its platform for general purpose robotics development, expanding across model access, routing, inference, and robot management.
October 23, 2026
Builder launches
Builder launches as the first self-serve neutral infrastructure platform for physical AI.
