OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS – May 9, 2025 – Running a business is hard. Hiring shouldn’t be. That’s the bold promise behind Virtual Sidekicks, a Kansas-based startup helping small business owners break free from burnout by matching them with vetted, full-time offshore virtual assistants—fast.
Founded in early 2025 by entrepreneur Sebastian Velasco, Virtual Sidekicks flips the script on traditional staffing and gig platforms. Instead of bloated agencies or endless freelance marketplaces, it offers a clean, no-fluff model: one-time recruitment, curated matches, zero ongoing fees.
“Most founders don’t need 100 résumés — they need one rockstar who actually gets it,” said Velasco. “We built this for people who are tired of doing everything themselves.”
The Fix for Founders Doing Too Much
Virtual Sidekicks was born from the all-too-familiar struggle of solopreneurs: juggling strategy, sales, admin, marketing, and still answering their own emails. The company’s solution? A three-step process designed to save time and sanity:
-
Share Your Needs – Founders describe the role they’re drowning in.
-
We Find Your Match – Virtual Sidekicks sources, screens, and handpicks the best candidates.
-
Meet Your Sidekick – Clients interview top picks and make a hire—backed by a 90-day replacement guarantee.
The startup’s vetting process includes resume screenings, skills tests, video interviews, and recruiter evaluations. Out of over 700 applicants, just 157 have made it to the final qualified pool—ensuring businesses only meet candidates who are actually ready to deliver from day one.
Why It’s Working
Small businesses are loving it, and for good reason:
-
No bloated contracts – just a one-time fee when you hire
-
Pre-vetted talent – no endless interviews, no guesswork
-
Quick turnaround – candidates delivered in under 10 business days
-
90-day guarantee – risk-free, founder-friendly hiring
“I’ve hired VAs before, but the quality was hit or miss. Virtual Sidekicks found someone who actually understands my business and owns their role,” said Kevin R., a SaaS entrepreneur.
“Within two weeks, my Sidekick took over all my admin. I finally had time to focus on sales again,” added Lauren M., a marketing consultant.
Built By a Founder, For Founders
Velasco knows the grind firsthand. After launching multiple ventures and generating over $13.5 million in sales, he built Virtual Sidekicks to help founders escape the hamster wheel.
“This isn’t about cheap labor. It’s about getting real support—people who can grow with your business. That’s what makes the difference,” said Velasco.
Next Up: Scale With Support
Virtual Sidekicks isn’t stopping at placements. The company plans to roll out onboarding resources, performance tools, and training to help businesses turn their Sidekicks into long-term assets.
