Mission

CareMonkey is a Melbourne-based software platform that lets schools go paperless by digitizing forms and administrative workflows. Its platform enables parents to respond to field trip, payment, medical and policy update forms and other consents, and allows schools and districts to manage workflows such as staff approvals, tutoring registrations, supply requests, fee reimbursements, professional development tracking, asset management, technology repair, and school maintenance. Founded in 2013 and led by CEO Troy Westley, the company has scaled to over 500 schools in Australia and is used in schools and districts across Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. CareMonkey raised $1.5M (AUD$2.2M) in seed funding to accelerate growth in the U.S. and U.K. markets and to expand its product offering. The company plans to deploy the proceeds toward international expansion and product development. CareMonkey provides a parent-controlled electronic medical form and risk-management system that keeps medical and emergency data up to date and makes it instantly available on mobile devices. Its platform is used by families, schools, clubs, businesses and community organisations to collect medical forms and store emergency contacts, medications, allergies, asthma plans, immunisations and other care instructions. Features include electronic collection of medical forms, automated reminders to parents for missing forms, and instant access for teachers, coaches and other carers via smartphones, tablets and a secure website. The company reports over 100k users. Financially, CareMonkey won the Slush 100 pitching competition and received €650k in equity funding from Evli Bank, FiBAN business angels and a group of private investors. Additionally, PwC and Mäkitalo Rantanen & Co committed services valued at €15k each to support the company.
