    Buster is 8 people in a sunny office in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, quickly growing an online platform for booking group transportation. We’re a playful team enjoying the weird world of transportation, although we bet it’s never occurred to you that you might get really excited about your new job in the charter industry. We keep it more party bus than executive sedan.

    We have a sophisticated pricing and booking tool built and a big pool of quality vendors taking our bookings. We’re in the midst of bringing a technology solution to an $11 billion industry that’s basically offline without our platform, and we have a clear plan and funding to make it happen, from a recent $2.4M round led by General Catalyst, Allen & Co., and Jeff Boyd (Chairman of Priceline).
