The company is venture-backed, having raised $2.4M from investors including Forum Ventures, Hudson Valley Startup Fund, Innovent Capital Group, and others. Busie is a remote-first team distributed across 3 continents. The company's mission is to provide greater accessibility to group travel by offering ground transportation operators the tools they need to connect with their customers online. ## Background Busie was founded after CEO Louis Bookoff personally experienced the friction of booking a charter bus — a process that took two weeks and was entirely manual. Recognizing that charter operators were underserved by technology, Busie set out to build the operating system for the charter transportation industry. The platform was built side-by-side with charter operators to ensure it fits the real-world needs of the industry. ## Technology Busie is built on a modern, event-driven architecture powered by Apache Kafka and Confluent Cloud, with AWS ECS and Fargate for infrastructure. The platform uses PostgreSQL and MongoDB for data storage across 13+ databases, connected via a streaming data architecture. This infrastructure enables: - Real-time operational data across all platform modules - Dynamic pricing and real-time notifications - Fast feature development and deployment - Scalable performance as operator data volumes grow ## Contact - **Website:** [getbusie.com](https://www.getbusie.com) - **Email:** hello@getbusie.com - **Phone:** (845) 443-7974 - **Address:** 8 North Front Street, Kingston, NY 12401 - **Demo:** [getbusie.com/book-a-demo](https://www.getbusie.com/book-a-demo) - **Sign In:** [range.getbusie.com](https://range.getbusie.com)
