LAUNCHING AN AI-NATIVE SAAS WITH CREDIBILITY FROM DAY ONE
Elara entered a competitive HR tech market with a strong AI-native product but no external presence. There was no brand, no website, no inbound engine, and no supporting infrastructure. Aquilon partnered with Elara to design, launch, and scale their go-to-market foundation.

Elara needed to:
Launch quickly without looking early-stage
Build credibility in a crowded SaaS market
