The problem

Stop joining five tools

Most directors cobble together payments, team lists, brackets, and updates from separate apps. The Rooster solves for all of them in one place.

  • › Venmo
  • › Google Sheets
  • › Hand-drawn brackets
  • › Social media
  • › Email announcements

The Rooster replaces all of that.
