About

A brand and web identity that made an early-stage AI finance company launch-ready.

Sidelines needed a sharper visual system and a clearer web presence to pitch investors, sell to customers, and look credible in a space where 88% of US finance leaders say their finance function is already using AI.

The Vision

The founders had been in the trenches of investment banking and private equity themselves, so they built Sidelines.

We developed a compact identity system, website visual direction, and launch assets that could help a seed-stage company show up credibly against more established competitors without feeling stuffy or outdated.
