BusPlanner

The Deal

Bought By
Umar Mir and Kyle Zhao
Year
Not published by any primary source
Two backers print their own 2024 investment years beside the holding company, and neither dates the purchase of its first company in a sentence; a third backer's wall carries no year at all.
Vehicle
Union Software Group, a long-term hold backed by Hunter Search Capital, Siwa Capital and Highland Creek Partners
Kind
Software

A Canadian provider of bus route planning software for school districts across North America, the first purchase of an operator-led software holding company.

What Happened Next

Still held: one backer's company page calls it the holding company's first acquisition beside its own 2024 investment, a second calls it the cornerstone acquisition, and a third links it from its logo wall. The holding company's own team page names Umar Mir chief executive of BusPlanner, and its grid dropped Kyle Zhao between June and November 2025, while a backer's page still calls him co-chief executive.

The exit ends of journeys like this one, where the buyer has announced the purchase itself, are on Buyers.
