Putting together mutually beneficial relationships is part of our DNA. In our careers as investment banking, Internet and enterprise software professionals, we quickly learned the value of taking time to put together the right deal, not just any deal.

When international travel companies (American Express, United, American Airlines and others) wanted their customers to have information in the palm of their hands—any time, any where—members of our team sat down to determine the best way to structure deals that would accomplish their goals with mobile technology.

You may have noticed an announcement this week about our partnership with Instant Software. Partnerships like this are key to the growth and evolution of the vacation rental industry.

While Internet-based advertising has become one of the most cost-effective means to acquire customers; it requires time, money and expertise to make it successful. Property managers and owners need easier to use tools that integrate with existing applications to make them successful at leveraging the power of the Internet to market their properties, so the entire marketplace can expand.

We are focused on one critical piece of the puzzle and want to work with other companies to perfect the experience for renters who are searching for, comparing and booking a vacation rental. If you’ve got an idea for a unique partnership, I’d love to talk to you about it. Drop me a line or see us at:
