Founder & CEO, Skylarq AI

Phillip An is the founder and CEO of Skylarq AI, the autonomous desktop agent that runs your entire sales operation from your Mac. Previously, he founded Homebase through Y Combinator (W21), raising $50M in venture capital and scaling to 120 employees.

Phillip is passionate about building AI agents that actually do the work — not tools that make more work for you.
