§ 00 · First — what you'd launch

sidexside is the verified, women-only walking app.

Every woman on your campus already has a system. The fake phone call. Keys in your fist. "Text me when you're home." sidexside is the one that actually shows up — a real, verified woman, going your way, walking next to you.

How a walk works
Step 01

Drop your spot

Library, dorm, bus stop. It finds verified women going your way in the next 15 minutes.

Step 02

Pick your person

Faces, names, ratings — every one ID + selfie verified. One tap to match.

Step 03

Walk together

Live location to your circle. Voice + chat. Auto check-ins every 5 minutes.

Step 04

Home safe

One tap SOS hits your circle, our 24/7 team, and campus safety at once.

01
Verified women only. .edu, campus ID, a live selfie every login. No men. Ever.
02
No tracking. No data sales. Sharing ends the second you're home. We don't sell you. To anyone.
03
Always on. 2 a.m. included. No service hours, no 45-minute escort wait.
§ 01 · The mission

Safety isn't a building you walk into. It isn't a button on a wall. It isn't a 45-minute wait for a van that goes one place. Safety is who's next to you. We just built the version where it actually shows up.

We refuse to call cameras "safety."
We refuse to make women fill out a form to feel safer.
We refuse to sell anyone's location. Ever.
We refuse to add a man to the platform.
We refuse to build a tool that closes at midnight.

Built by someone who walked it. Our founder spent four years choosing between a 45-minute escort wait and walking home alone. Most nights, she walked. sidexside is the version she wished existed — and you'd be the one bringing it to your campus.

§ 02 · The deal

What you actually get.

Not a t-shirt and a discount code. Real money, real access, a real line on your resume.

P.01 · Lifetime

Lifetime free product

Full feature stack, free, forever — for you and a trusted contact. Not "first year free." Lifetime.

P.02 · Money

Launch stipend

A launch-week kickoff stipend plus per-event budget. Pizza for your org allies is on us, not you.

P.03 · Access

Direct line to the founder

Private Slack with Kaylyn + the team. See roadmap calls before they ship. No PR filter.

P.04 · Credential

Resume credential

"Founding Campus Ambassador, sidexside" + a written founder reference on request. It lands.

P.05 · Early

Features first

Every new feature in your hands weeks before public. Break it, tell us what's wrong.

P.06 · Network

Founder network

A national cohort of women running the same launch. Intros and recs that outlast the program.

§ 03 · The role

What you'll actually do.

Three months. Real outcomes. Not "post on Instagram." Make sidexside the default safety app on your campus before we open verification there.

You'll run

One launch event — with a women's org or sorority. We bring the playbook, budget, swag.
Three campus partnerships — student gov, Title IX, Greek council, club sports.
A weekly push — 30 minutes. We tell you exactly what works.

We'll give you

The playbook — every step, template, and email, pre-built.
The budget — venue, food, swag, pre-funded. You front nothing.
Founder hours — biweekly 1:1 with Kaylyn or the team. Real strategy.
§ 04 · Who we want

Built for the woman already doing this.

Not influencers. The woman in the group chat at 11 p.m. — the one her friends text first, the one already running the safety workaround without calling it that.

The group-chat anchor

People text you first for a ride, a rec, a check-in. You don't need a title to run a room.

The org bridge

You're in (or want to be) the women's org, sorority leadership, or student gov. You have reach.

The fix-it type

You've had the "we shouldn't have to" talk. You'd rather build the thing than post about it.

50

campuses. One ambassador each.

Cohort 01 is 50 founding ambassadors — one per campus, no exceptions. If your school's taken, you're first in line for Cohort 02. Applications close July 15.

§ 05 · Questions

Real answers.

Who can apply?+
Any verified woman student at an accredited U.S. college with at least two semesters left. You need a .edu email and a real reason your campus needs this. No GPA, follower count, or major filter.
How much time?+
About 4–6 hours a week across three months, plus one launch event. The playbook is built around a full course load and a job — not in spite of them.
Is it paid?+
Yes. A launch-week kickoff stipend plus per-event budget, lifetime free product, pre-funded event costs, and a written reference on request. The stipend scale is shared before you commit.
What's "founder access"?+
A private Slack with Kaylyn and the founding team, plus biweekly 1:1 office hours. Real strategy and product feedback — roadmap decisions hit the channel before they ship.
Does it actually help my resume?+
Yes. "Founding Campus Ambassador, sidexside" with a written founder reference. Recognized in tech, public health, policy, and student-affairs hiring. We send sample resume phrasing in onboarding.
My campus isn't launched yet — can I apply?+
Especially then. Ambassadors are the reason a campus moves up the list. Two strong applications from one school usually triggers a launch invite. Apply now.
