Who he is
Vistage Chair · founder · operator
Steven chairs a Vistage peer-advisory room and has founded across AI supply chain, cloud commerce, SaaS and blockchain (co-founder of 6116.ai). This isn't a sales page — it's a neighbor's note: a Vistage Chair sits at the center of a room of operators who all hit the same un-fun tech walls, and that's exactly the layer a SideGuy handles.
What a SideGuy does for Steven
For the operators in his Vistage room
- A no-BS tech resource for your room — Vistage members hit the same walls — a site that won't rank, compliance a buyer is demanding, busywork that should be automated. SideGuy is the operator they can text, first hour free, no agency bloat.
- Compliance without the Big-4 markup — SOC 2 / HIPAA readiness for member companies in a deal or enterprise sale — operator-honest, no retainer.
- Automation that frees the owner — The boring back-office automated so the CEO works ON the business, not in it.
- No lock-in — Use the tools you like; SideGuy is just the layer that makes them work together.
A Vistage Chair sees the same tech walls across a whole room of operators. SideGuy is the no-BS resource those members can text — sites that rank, compliance handled, busywork automated, first hour on the house. No pitch — a resource for your room.
