Australian startup selected by KAYWEB Angels New York
NEW YORK: Australian founded busEasy has been selected for investment from over 150 start-ups which applied to New York angel developers, KAYWEB Angels.
busEasy, a stealth concept presented by Australian duo Tony Fairweather and Tony Antoniou, is described as a product that “will bring a new and long overdue dynamic to the consumer transportation industry with its unique web offering”.
“We were interested in partnering with KAYWEB Angels not only because of their offering as angel developers and technical co-founders, but also because they would be valuable mentors when we look to launch our application in the United States,” said Fairweather.
Fairweather, from Brisbane, and Antoniou, from Melbourne, took advantage of the opportunity to pitch to Haig Kayserian directly while the Australian-born CEO of KAYWEB Angels was in Sydney.
“KAYWEB Angels invests in web and mobile projects that will launch in the United States, and the submitted busEasy application was interesting to us because we saw its significant overseas potential,” Kayserian said.
“When another Board member and myself met Tony and Tony for their pitch, we were certain we would invest, as they were entrepreneurs with real potential and they were the right entrepreneurs to champion this product.”
KAYWEB Angels also invested in PicturPass during its northern Spring round, taking its portfolio to a total of eight web and mobile application companies.
