About the Company

Taskrabbit

On-demand marketplace for household tasks

What Taskrabbit does: It is a platform that connects clients (homeowners, renters, and small businesses) with Taskers who can perform household and personal tasks, such as cleaning, assembly, repairs, errands, and more. How its product works: Clients post tasks on the website or mobile app, Taskers bid on those tasks with competitive rates, and the platform takes a service fee on each completed task. The service emphasizes same-day assistance and offers a Happiness Pledge to guarantee customer satisfaction. How it differs from competitors: It operates as a bid-based marketplace focused on on-demand home services, with a built-in customer satisfaction guarantee and a mobile-first experience that makes it easy to find and hire help quickly. What the company’s goal is: To provide a reliable, efficient way for people to get skilled help for a wide range of tasks, aligning revenue with successful, satisfactory matches for both clients and Taskers.
