"Most staffing founders don't fail for lack of effort—they fail because their systems aren't built to scale," says Paul DeLuca, CEO of Meritus Capital. "Nobody's ever combined banking, funding, and workforce tools before—and for us, building it was a no-brainer. Rostyr helps new founders launch for a fraction of the cost, and gives established firms a simpler way to grow profitably."
For new firms, Rostyr replaces more than $25,000 in startup costs, offering a complete back-office from day one. For mid-sized agencies, it streamlines operations into a single, scalable system for efficiency, profitability, and growth.
Staffing firms have long battled disconnected tools, payroll stress, and compliance challenges in a highly regulated industry. Rostyr addresses these challenges by bringing together:
- FDIC-insured embedded banking as the financial core
- Flexible funding tailored to non-negotiable weekly payroll demands
- Staffing software suite with AI-powered recruiting, compliant timekeeping, and billing
- Integration capabilities with payroll, workers' compensation insurance, and vendor management systems
By syncing workforce data directly into its funding portal, Rostyr eliminates manual errors and accelerates funding approvals. Once cleared, funds are deposited into each firm's FDIC-insured business account—complete with bill-pay and payroll integration.
"Rostyr is the product I wish I'd had as an owner," says Adam Forbes, Senior VP of Partnerships at Meritus Capital. "It's a solution for anyone who's ever wired payroll at midnight—and one I'm proud to help bring to market today."
Forbes joined Meritus Capital less than a year ago. He brings decades of experience in staffing ownership and insurance programs, and played a central role delivering Rostyr's launch.
