How a simple idea gave birth to Phoneside

Passionate about computers and new technologies. Mehdi Maizate He decided to pursue specialized studies in computer science to become a developer. When he started working in this field, he realized that it wasn't practical to have the phone on the desk next to his work tool, the computer.

So in 2017, he decided to address his own need. With a pencil, several sheets of paper, and a 3D printer, he invented a first prototype of a phone stand for a computer... Phoneside It was born! His colleagues, surprised and interested by this concept, planted the seed in his ear... "there's something to be done here."

Mehdi assembled a team and the company was launched! We invested in 7 3D printers to produce the first series of the Phoneside, a smartphone stand for computers that is very useful and practical during periods of remote work where video conferencing is increasingly common. It's a very promising concept that we customize and offer to companies as a...promotional item.

We were passionate about 3D printing; it allowed us to bring our concept to life and continuously improve it thanks to the numerous feedback from our customers! However, it remains a technology far too slow for our many demands… We quickly needed to move to the next stage: industrialization!

Phoneside V2 is ready! A new version that will no longer be 3D printed but industrially produced using plastic injection molding! A mold therefore needed to be made, and several tens of thousands of euros were required for its production. It was difficult to raise such a sum for our initial venture… So we decided to launch a crowdfunding campaign…

Our crowdfunding campaign was a great success, raising €35,000 on Kickstarter In less than a week! Our sincere thanks thanks thanks to the support of our 655 contributors ❤️.

A few months later, we are delighted to see the results of our efforts and patience!
