Tekmetric
👤 Sunil Patel (Ran Motorwerks of Houston for over a decade — wrote service tickets, mopped floors. He built Tekmetric for the pain he lived.)🌐 site
The best distribution in a trade is having done the job. Patel ran the shop before he sold the software.
Will it work? · our read
Built from inside. A crowded, copyable market — but Patel's decade running a shop earned trust and credibility rivals lack. Embedded payments and shop data now create the switching cost.

Revenue and headcount are getlatka third-party estimates; Tekmetric has not disclosed official figures. getlatka
About $15M in 2024, roughly 2x the prior year — but this is a getlatka estimate, not a Tekmetric-disclosed figure.

Revenue ($15M/2024, $7.2M/2023) and headcount (about 189) are getlatka THIRD-PARTY ESTIMATES, NOT disclosed by Tekmetric — flagged tagged Estimate, not independently confirmed. Latka can be inaccurate, so treat the figure as directional. First-party and solid: pricing ($199-439/mo) and the founder story (Sunil Patel ran Motorwerks of Houston for over a decade; co-founder/CFO Prasanth Chilukuri) from tekmetric.com. Funding: raised little early capital (getlatka: about $1.6M seed+venture), plus a later Susquehanna Growth Equity investment of undisclosed size — so 'largely bootstrapped early' is fair, not 'never raised.' The payments-as-moat framing and rivals' weights are [our read], not audited. Shop-count claims (e.g. '15,000 shops') appear in Tekmetric marketing but I could not verify a number on a first-party page, so none is asserted as fact. We never score you.
