Rahul Sidhu was one of those kids who was always fiddling with computers. He even had a small tech startup in high school, to help him pay his way through college. Out of High School, he was an EMT, and studied emergency medicine at the University of Pittsburgh. Post that, he became a paramedic crew chief, overseeing an assigned rescue crew and shift. In 2013, he became a police officer full time.He is a regular at the gym, which obviously shows that fitness is important to him, along with hanging out with his family and friends. He's a golfer, and is recently trying to get better at it. And, he likes to travel through food, as he says it, planning his trips around the best places to eat.In 2015, within the Techstars program in New York, Rahul and his co-founders were running out of cash, unable to deliver on what they were intending. After some helpful words from a friendly former Chief, he and his team decided to keep it simple, and attempt to help police departments solve the "customer service" problem.This is the creation story of Spidr Tech.SponsorsCourierImg.lyRoutableCTO.aiCloudways offers peace of mind and flexibility so you can focus on growing your business instead of dealing with server management.
