Hello, my name is Phat Le.

I'm a jack of all trades with a focus on design, product management, and sales. I’m passionate about impactful technologies, social movements, and the elevation of human consciousness. 

Currently, I'm making auto repair delightful at Sleeker Labs. Sleeker uses artificial intelligence to help auto repair shops organize and manage their businesses. With Sleeker, auto shops save time scheduling appointments, building estimates, ordering parts, and communicating with customers. We are an international team of creators, hackers, and hustlers. Our current investors include Jaguar Land Rover, Ocean Capital, technology entrepreneurs, industry veterans, and more. Interested in learning more? Shoot us an email at hello@sleeker.co.

Prior to Sleeker, I was an Entrepreneur in Residence at Jaguar Land Rover, launched 2 automotive apps at Lyfeboat, and studied Aerospace Engineering at Embry Riddle.

I worked alongside connected mobility startups. I learned from auto shops, dealerships, and service centers on the current technology problems and the pain points that exist. I gained key industry knowledge and contacts that allowed me to start Sleeker Labs.
