Today I am talking to Rahul Sidhu, founder and CEO of SPIDR Tech (Acquired by Versaterm). Rahul is a lifelong public safety junkie spending time as a police officer and EMT who turned to a vertical SaaS founder. Learn how Rahul found product market fit, scaled a sales team in Gov Tech, and eventually exited. You can watch/listen to podcast on Youtube, Spotify, and Apple.
Rahul Sidhu is the Founder and CEO of SPIDR Tech, the world’s first automated customer service platform for public safety. Versaterm Public Safety acquired SPIDR Tech in 2021.
