Sidefish

Digital questionnaire platform for insurance brokers, built by brokers

Document Management Startup Bootstrapped

Overview

Sidefish is a document management and workflow automation platform for insurance brokers operating in Belgium. The platform converts paper-based administrative forms into interactive digital questionnaires, enabling brokers to collect client data more efficiently and reduce manual administrative overhead.

The core product is an AI-assisted questionnaire engine branded around a virtual assistant called Bowy. Questionnaires are delivered as conversation-like interactions rather than traditional form layouts, with built-in data validation and end-to-end encryption. The platform integrates with broker management systems such as Brokercloud for automatic data synchronization, and includes digital signature capabilities in higher-tier subscriptions.

Sidefish is bootstrapped and serves a small client base of Belgian insurance brokers and accountancy firms. Customer testimonials cite completion rate improvements over paper-based methods. The company offers a subscription model with three tiers -- Basic (EUR 499/year), Premium (EUR 999/year), and Enterprise (custom pricing).
