HR Tech

Executive Summary

Company D is an Australian AI-powered HR tech company transforming the way large enterprises hire,
onboard, and manage casual and temp workers. Our platform is solving one of the most expensive and
risk-prone problems faced by businesses today—labour compliance, payroll accuracy, and
workforce flexibility—with a complete, automated solution.
We’ve already gained traction with major corporate clients including IKEA, ICC Sydney, and large
hospitality groups. These early wins validate our value proposition: reduce HR overheads, eliminate
compliance risk, and ensure fair, lawful employment practices—all while increasing workforce flexibility
and speed of hiring.
The Problem is Massive:
Australian businesses face harsh penalties from Fair Work for payroll and award interpretation
errors—recent cases include $1.6M fines for Melotte, $19.25M backpay for Merivale, and $4M penalties
for Din Tai Fung. These issues stem from complex award rules, inconsistent onboarding, and
underpayment risks—problems that Company D’s AI engine solves at scale.
We’ve onboarded 70,000+ workers and are EBITDA positive, all without raising external capital to
date. This is an extremely sticky business model—once a client is onboard, we retain 15% of every shift
indefinitely. It’s like SaaS, but with recurring revenue per hour worked.
We are ESIC-approved, so investors may access up to $1 million in tax benefits over five years. Plus,
our compliance-first approach makes us a perfect candidate for government sponsorship under skilled
migration and labour market support initiatives.
$5 million investment will accelerate our growth through:
Scaling business development and client success teams
Deepening our AI automation and matching engine
With regulatory pressure mounting, workforce trends shifting, and enterprise demand growing fast,
Company D is perfectly positioned to dominate the future of compliant casual hiring in Australia.

Company Overview

Company D is an AI-powered HR tech company revolutionising how Australian enterprises hire,
onboard, and manage casual and temporary workers. Our all-in-one, compliance-first platform solves a
major business challenge: ensuring every shift is staffed legally, fairly, and cost-effectively without
manual HR overhead.
Already adopted by IKEA, ICC Sydney, and several national hospitality groups, our platform enables
companies to meet Fair Work obligations, reduce costs, and scale flexibly while giving workers instant
onboarding, access to shifts, and same-day pay via mobile.

The Problem

Australian businesses face rising legal and operational risks around casual hiring:
$19.25M backpay for Merivale
$1.6M fine for Melotte
$4M penalty for Din Tai Fung
These stem from underpayment, incorrect awards, and payroll mistakes particularly for temp workers
and visa holders. With 2.7 million casual workers in Australia and 2M+ job ads posted annually, the
demand for compliant, automated hiring is enormous.

The Solution

Company D offers a full-stack employment infrastructure, acting as the Employer of Record (EOR)
so clients don’t have to worry about compliance.
Our AI platform handles:
Visa Scanning & Work Rights Enforcement We verify candidate visa status, determine work
rights, identify applicable award classifications, and apply real-time restrictions within the platform
protecting both employers and workers.
Automated recruitment and matching
Onboarding, payroll, tax, super, workers comp insurance
Award interpretation (Fair Work compliant)
Roster & attendance management
Real-time shift tracking and same-day pay via mobile wallet
Our model is simple: clients pay a 15% service fee per shift far cheaper than traditional labour hire
agencies. Once clients onboard, we manage every shift indefinitely creating high-margin, recurring
revenue.
