Your 24/7 AI Receptionist for hospitality. BookingBoost is an AI reservation agent for hotels and accommodation providers, powered by Aetheron Connect. It answers calls, messages and website chats around the clock, takes live bookings with real-time availability, manages enquiries and waitlists, sends payment links and reminders, and drives upsells to maximise occupancy. Built by Aetheron’s team for the hospitality sector, BookingBoost connects to your PMS to keep data in sync and eliminate double-handling. Properties typically go live in days and see immediate gains: fewer missed enquiries, higher direct revenue and up to 40 per cent lower handling costs. Our philosophy is simple.

Tesloop is operating the first Car 2.0 mobility service (cars as a service), focussing on the city-to-city travel experience. Car 2.0 is a disruptive transportation platform of increasingly autonomous, connected, electric, and supercharged vehicles, embodied by Tesla vehicles today, and others in the next few years. Tesloop currently offers service from LA to Orange County (8x daily), San Diego (6x daily) and Palm Springs (6x daily), and will be expanding other regions later this year. The company has experienced rapid growth and has achieved profitable unit economics. Tesloop has a strong focus on building the software technology required for routing, pricing, remote administration, and security, as well predictive models based on deep learning on the vehicle data. In the last two years, Tesloop has become the highest rated transportation service in the world, and is also expanding to Northern California and beyond. Tesloop has partnered with Tesla on licensing fleet APIs that allow access in real time to all Tesla vehicle telemetry. Tesloop is lead by seasoned internet entrepreneurs and is funded by world-class investors: Clearstone Ventures, Inspiration Ventures, and Global Trust Group along with angels from Facebook, Tesla Motors, Moat, and Allen & Co.
