WHITE SALMON, Washington, October 29, 2026. Second Spring Design today announced the soft launch of Aventide (aventide.ai), purpose-built AI for managing your clients and the business around them. It brings bookings, proposals, contracts, client portals, money and marketing into one place. Events are next. The founders are welcoming early users to help shape the product.
“I spent five years at Amazon, where I helped lead the expansion of their stores from two locations to 50. Building at that scale taught me how much work happens around every customer interaction, and how much the systems behind it matter. Running my own businesses, I wanted that same care in tools built for a small team.”
Christian Quiver, cofounder and CEO
Owners can use Aventide’s tools directly or tell Sidekick, their AI sidekick, what they need. Drawing on each business’s saved details, Sidekick helps owners think through decisions, plan next steps and take action, from drafting proposals and documents to preparing invoices and client follow-ups. It works on desktop or by message through Telegram, WhatsApp or Slack. Anything Aventide drafts for a client waits for your approval; automations you switch on run on their own.
The company calls this human-scale AI. The owner stays in charge, AI is the sidekick, and the point is to keep independent businesses independent.
“I work in spirals, connecting ideas and moving between projects and businesses. I built Aventide to help me keep the thread and turn those ideas into action, with AI as my sidekick.”
Christian Quiver, cofounder and CEO
For people running more than one business, Aventide keeps each business’s clients, branding, portal, money and marketing accounts separate under one login. Both paid plans include unlimited businesses and unlimited team members.
The soft launch is open to anyone through a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. The founders are working closely with the first users to learn from real workflows and improve the experience. Starter costs $39 a month and Pro costs $99. Clients pay into the owner’s own Stripe or QuickBooks account, and Aventide takes 0%.
