## About

Founded in 2019 and based in California, US, Sidekick Mobile Technologies operates an application that facilitates sobriety by linking users with a community that can relate to their experiences. The company was co-founded by its CEO, Chris Thompson. In December 2025, Sober Sidekick raised USD 7.6 million in venture funding led by HealthX Ventures, with participation from American Heart Association, Ikigai Growth Partners, Nina Capital, Suncoast Ventures, Cortado Ventures, and WS Investments.

The company’s app provides guided peer-to-peer support and encourages behavioral health shifts in substance abuse. It offers instant, anonymous, sober support from real people and aims to replace stigma with empathy through engagement technology. 

The company plans to utilize the December 2025 funding to expand value-based partnerships with payers, enhance predictive capabilities of Empathy Algorithm, and grow teams focused on member support, behavioral data science, and care collaboration, as well as build operational infrastructure for relapse prevention at scale.
