"Their approach is nonetheless firm & honest, and that’s exactly what we wanted."
“As a small tech startup in the vacation rental industry it can feel like you are a small fish swimming in a very big ocean. We decided to bring Simon in as we needed to consolidate our ideas, business strategy and get great insights into the VR marketplace/industry. The deep dive session and ongoing contact with Simon and his team has been invaluable to us. His passion to help and see entrepreneurs succeed was inspiring; he draws on an impressive professional business career & network of contacts. His approach is nonetheless firm & honest, and that’s exactly what we wanted.
My one regret? Not having got involved with Simon and AJL Atelier sooner.
Highly recommended. Thank you.“
"Simon and AJL team as a real partner that will give you all their knowledge."
“During the 2 days deep-dive with Simon we had the occasion to go over our business 360º, digging into details in any of the key aspects of our startup. It has been the occasion for us to validate, question and challenge many aspects of our business that helped us to go to the market in a much stronger way. You can consider Simon and AJL team as a real partner that will give you all their knowledge and experience of so many years in the industry and a general vision all over the STR value chain.
Their incredible portfolio of contacts is also a real chance to introduce you to other players from the industry to collaborate with. Can’t recommend them enough!“
“AJL Atelier has been a key partner of SUPERHOG from the start."
“AJL Atelier has been a key partner of SUPERHOG from the start. We have leveraged their in-depth knowledge and proven expertise in a hundred different ways, such as gaining a greater understanding of the STR ecosystem and the who-is-who in this complex, fragmented and ever-changing industry. In addition, the introductions have been of great value – AJL has a rolodex to give legendary David Rockefeller a run for his money! I am sure that without AJL, our successes would have been far less – we would be waaaaay back down the road rather than being the #1 trust and safety SaaS platform within the STR industry.“
“Working with the team at AJL was a great experience."
“Working with the team at AJL was a great experience. We used them to kickstart our European expansion, initially as a launchpad in Barcelona, as well as via strategic guidance in markets outside our North American base. Simon’s huge network and deep industry insights were invaluable, and the team a professional and knowledgeable group to work with.“
