History

Passionate about computers and new technologies. Mehdi Maizate is moving towards specialized studies in IT to become a developer. When he starts working in this profession, he realizes that it was not practical to have the phone on the desk next to his work tool which was the computer.

So in 2017 he decided to meet his own need. A pencil, several sheets of paper, and he invented a first prototype of a phone holder for computers using a 3D printer... PHONESIDE was born! His colleagues, surprised and interested in this concept, put the flea in his ear... "there are a few things to do"

Mehdi surrounds himself with a team and the company is launched! We invest in 7 3D printers to produce the first series of Phoneside, a smartphone support for computers that is very useful and practical in times of teleworking where videoconferences are increasingly present. A very promising concept that we personalize and offer to companies as apromotional item.

We were passionate about 3D printing, it allowed us to bring our concept to life and to continually improve it thanks to the numerous feedback from our customers! However, it remains a technology that is much too slow for our many requests... We had to quickly move on to the next step: industrialization!

Phoneside V2 is ready! a new version that will no longer be 3D printed but industrialized in plastic injection! A mold had to be made and several tens of thousands of euros were necessary for its manufacture. Difficult to find such a sum for our beginnings… So we decided to launch a crowdfunding campaign…

Great success of our crowdfunding campaign, we collect the sum of 35,000 euros on KICKSTARTER, we obtain our entire request in less than a week! Our sincere thanks for the support of our 655 contributors ❤️.

A few months later, we are observing with great pleasure the repercussions of our efforts and our patience!
