Rosterfy, a market leading mass volunteer and workforce management platform, has secured a Series A round led by Bailador Technology Investment Limited (ASX:BTI). Bailador, a Sydney based investment firm, has an impressive reputation for identifying exciting and fast-growing SaaS businesses.
The announcement marks a new era of growth for the business which was founded in 2015 in Melbourne, Australia. Envisioned by Co Founders, Bennett Merriman, Shannan Gove and Chris Grant, Rosterfy offers organizations, events and causes a way to effectively manage and engage their volunteer and paid workforce programs.

In addition to the investment Rosterfy has announced that Bailador’s Co Founder and Managing Director David Kirk will be joining as the company’s new chairman. The former CEO of Fairfax Media and past captain of the All Blacks Rugby Team, Kirk brings significant experience in leadership and strategy to Rosterfy, having held senior positions including currently as Chairman of KMD Brands, owner of Rip Curl and Kathmandu.
His knowledge, experience and networks, particularly across the NFP sector will be instrumental in helping Rosterfy take huge strides toward achieving its mission to connect people to causes and events they are passionate about worldwide.

David Kirk, Bailador Co-Founder and Managing Partner will also become Rosterfy’s Chairman. He said: “Having worked with multiple NFP organisations myself, I recognise the important role that volunteers play in enabling NFPs to deliver on their mission, as well as the challenge of being able to hire, schedule and retain those volunteers.
The Rosterfy team have developed a market-leading volunteer management solution that has found strong product-market fit, which is evident in their strong growth rates and the quality of the customers they have acquired. We’re excited to be partnering with the Rosterfy team as they accelerate their global growth plans and continue to execute on their mission to connect communities to events and causes they are passionate about.”
In addition to Bailador’s investment, Rosterfy will also welcome prominent tech investor Steve Power who will also join the investment round to support Rosterfy’s go to market strategy particularly their expansion into the USA.
