Taskrabbit

TaskRabbit is an online marketplace founded in 2008 by Leah Busque that connects customers with independent freelance workers, known as "Taskers," to help with everyday tasks. Originally launched as an SMS-based service called RunMyErrand in Boston, it rebranded to TaskRabbit and expanded into a website and mobile app. The platform operates in thousands of cities across nine countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and France. TaskRabbit enables users to outsource a variety of household and errand-based services. Core offerings include cleaning, furniture assembly, handyman services, and moving assistance. The platform allows customers to manage tasks through bidding or on-demand selection, providing flexible income opportunities for Taskers. TaskRabbit focuses on serving individual consumers, particularly busy professionals and families, fostering a community-oriented approach to task management.
