How Autoslide CEO Mark Hancock grew Autoslide to $1.2M revenue with a 11 person team in 2025.

Autoslide Pty brings their revolutionary product to the U.S. market from Australia. The Autoslide Home Automation System turns manual sliding doors and windows into automatic doors and windows. This is the first automatic door system that has been geared toward the residential market. Autoslide is a division of ADIS out of Australia, which has been producing commercial automatic door systems for over 25 years. Having won the Australian Design Award for excellence in product design and product efficiency for their modular commercial automatic door systems, ​the team of engineers at ADIS used their wealth of experience and knowledge to create the world’s first affordable Sliding Door Automation System for Homes. ​The Autoslide prototype was first introduced in 2004 on ABC TV Program "The New Inventors."​ After more than 8 years of research and development, including patent processing, market trials and technical refinements, the Finalist at the 2008 Sydney Home Show for “Best New Product” officially unveiled a new revamped design in 2013. The new compact design was created for universal use for both new installation and retrofit jobs, while improving the ease of use for the homeowner. The Autoslide is patented in the U.S., Canada, China, and Japan. ​Autoslide is recognized as an affordable, convenient, and practical solution for everyday’s little inconveniences, but it also a long awaited necessity for many, including the elderly, physically challenged, and pet owners who are tired of getting up to open the door for their pets to come in and out. With even more applications, the Autoslide Automation System is best thing to hit the USA market since sliced bread!
