This additional capital complements the $1M round closed earlier in May 2013. White Star joins a great team of investors co-led by iNovia Capital and Real Ventures, as well as angel Joe Poulin (Luxury Retreats) and Peter Kern (Expedia).

Busbud is particularly pleased to work with an all-star team led by managing partners Eric Martineau-Fortin and Christian Hernandez Gallardo, who have deep operational experience at companies like Google and Facebook, solid knowledge of the travel industry, and an outstanding understanding of scaling international businesses.
