First funding round for CheckMyBus

Luxembourg-based Howzat backed the startup alongside business angels Cornelius Boersch, the founder of Swiss company builder Mountain Partners, and Bernd Dietel, who founded Berlin-based logistics startup Packator, alongside the business's founders.

CheckMyBus stated the funding will be used to grow the number of bus connections on offer and to expand into new countries. It claims the $70bn bus market processes 90% of all booking offline, and hopes to benefit from the ongoing transition towards online sales.
