The Sidecar company was originally established in 2011 as Socialeyes, which was focusing on a free service on Facebook allowing nine people to engage in a video chat at the same time. Socialeyes, which was launched at the Demo conference , was co-founded by former RealNetworks executives Rob Glaser and Rob Williams.

The company was closed down during summer months and was converted into Sidecar with a new emphasis on mobile. Glaser is Sidecar's chairman and Williams is now working as the company's CEO.
