What Can't Michael Schumacher Do? | The Airtasker Story

In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Tim Fung, founder of Airtasker, the community platform that connects people who need jobs done with people who want to work. Started in Australia in 2012, Airtasker now operates in New Zealand, Singapore, the UK, Ireland and the US and listed on the ASX earlier this year. In this chat, Tim shares how he got started with Airtasker and effectively scaled a two sided marketplace that now lists over 80,000 tasks every month. He gives us insights on how eCommerce skills are in demand and how some businesses are turning to Airtasker to fill skill gaps. And he reveals some of the most fascinating tasks that the platform has listed - including removing spiders from light fittings, entertaining drag queens and even Tim himself helping review your pitch deck.
