Founded in 2017, The Sidecar began as a space for two friends and local entrepreneurs in Helena, MT to collaborate and get out of their home offices.

Together they realized there was a significant need for a space for other creators and professionals to grow their businesses, ideas, and networks.

Since then, The Sidecar has grown into a full-fledged coworking community. We believe work and life are better done side-by-side than alone.
