Who we are

We believe software should be simple, functional, and affordable – so you can work smarter and be more efficient. BrighterLogix was founded by Ben Threadgill and Ryan Haight in 2008, at a small home office just outside Tulsa, Oklahoma. With nearly a decade of working and solving problems for educators, we decided to join forces to create software for K-12 school districts. Our search for valuable, easy to use, and affordable software for education left us frustrated, so we worked closely with educators to develop solutions that made a difference in education. Our first endeavor was a web-based lesson planner called SideKick. Today, SideKick is being used by teachers, schools, and school districts all across the country and has been awarded the 2010 Reader’s Choice Top 100 by District Administration.

BrighterLogix is now headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma and is considered an application development firm. We’re independent and profitable, with our customers as our only investors. Each day, we get together to listen and connect with our users, solve their problems, and continue to improve our software.
