Career
Software entrepreneur Between the fall of 1999 and spring of 2000, Bhat sold two internet startups, SiegeSoft.com and myEDesk.com, to a Canadian software firm. SiegeSoft was written by Bhat during the summer of 1999, while a sophomore at the University of Chicago Laboratory School. When a summer pre-calculus class he wished to take was canceled, he instead spent the time writing SiegeSoft as an anonymity software program to allow users to surf the internet without leaving a trail.
Originally sold online, SiegeSoft hides subscribers" identities when they use the internet and scrambles records of sites visited.
Though competing software began to materialize online, SiegeSoft was determined to be both more secure and easier to use than existing software.
