Code Story

Their tech. Their products. Their stories. In a tech startup, how do you get from an idea on the back of a napkin to a fully functioning product? Code Story is a podcast featuring tech leaders, reflecting the roads they travelled and the products they created. On the show, we interview tech visionaries, digging into the critical moments of what it takes to change an industry, and build (and lead) a team that has your back. Hosted by Noah Labhart, this show is a window into the digital startup world. In their own words, tech veterans share what it feels like to create a world class product, how to recover from critical mistakes, and how to scale your solution to the masses. This podcast is for the tech leader, CTO, CEO, developer, software architect, startup leader, disruptive visionary - or the curious minded individual, who wants to know what a builder goes through in creating world changing technology.

S5 Bonus: Rahul Sidhu, SpidrTech


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.
