CTO & Co-Founder at BookBuses.com
BookBuses.com looking for a new CTO and co-founder. BookBuses.com is a platform for the US
market that matches charter bus companies with customers, ala. Rental & Booking.com.
Market
US charter bus market ~ $ 13 billion annually. Not undergone digitalization yet. In general, no
significant competition.
Current site
Current site is beta built in PHP, been live for 2 months. In that time we have achieved a turnover
of + $ 30,000 (all operations have been manually). Meanwhile, our now ex-CTO built a scalable
automated instant pricing platform in Ruby on Rails. Our ex-CTO however felt that BookBuses
wasn't 100% right for him, so we're looking for a really skilled programmer who can take over and
join our adventure as a co-founder.
Terms
If we find a good CTO, we have seed investors ready to put + $ 200,000 in investments. We are
also in the final rounds of the US accelerator programs, "500 Startups" (California) and "Tech Stars"
(Boston). Both will be $ 125,000 for 5-8% equity (i.e. valuation ~ $ 2 million).
So, we offer both equity and salary (as soon as we seed) for the right candidate. In addition, the
company covers all visa costs the United States when they will join the company in New York (+
diet & Accommodation in NY).
Team
The team has experience from A. T. Kearney, Groupon, Light Bank, founding and
exits from previous startups.
Profile
We're looking for a full stack programmer. PHP or RoR (preferred). An alternative third option has
to be built up from scratch. HTML & CSS. Leadership skills for future scaling of the business.
If you think this sounds interesting, and your see matching capabilities, we would love to take a
non-committing talk as soon as you’re available. We definitely don’t bite, if you just want to hear
more also.
Look forward to hearing from you!
Best,
Bjorn & the BookBuses team.
