Schrole Group

What Schrole Group does

Schrole Group is an Australian public company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange under ticker SCL, headquartered in Osborne, Australia, and founded in 2013. The company provides human resources management software and training solutions tailored specifically for the education sector, serving schools and educational institutions with tools that address recruitment, staff management, and professional development workflows unique to the education vertical.

The company has raised a total of $11 million across two disclosed funding rounds: $6 million in September 2017 and $5 million in May 2020 led by Faria Education Group, a global education group whose strategic investment signals alignment with international school-sector expansion. As a publicly listed company on the ASX, Schrole operates with transparent corporate governance, led by co-founder Rob Graham (Managing Director & CEO), co-founder Greg Smith (Chief Operating Officer), and CFO Michael Kirkwood who also serves as General Manager of Operations; Nick Allan is listed as CFO and Company Secretary.

With 11-50 employees, Schrole Group is a small-cap SaaS business focused on a vertical-specific niche. Its business model is presumed to be B2B SaaS subscriptions and training services sold to schools, international schools, and education groups. The narrow vertical focus and the strategic investor relationship in education create both specialization advantages and concentration risks that warrant careful evaluation. The technology surface disclosed in source data indicates no public API exists, suggesting an integrated platform model rather than a developer ecosystem play.
