The announcement marks a new era of growth for the business which was founded in 2015 in Melbourne, Australia.

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.
