TaskRabbit

TaskRabbit is an online and mobile marketplace that connects freelance labor with local demand, allowing consumers to find immediate help with everyday tasks, including cleaning, moving, delivery, and handyman work. Founded in 2008, TaskRabbit has become a significant player in the gig economy, providing a platform where users can hire 'Taskers' to perform various tasks. The platform is known for its ease of use, allowing users to quickly find and hire help for tasks that range from minor home repairs to furniture assembly.

TaskRabbit operates in several major cities across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, offering a flexible work opportunity for individuals looking to earn extra income. The company was acquired by IKEA in 2017, which has allowed it to expand its services and integrate with IKEA's customer service offerings. TaskRabbit's business model is primarily based on a commission from the transactions facilitated through its platform, making it a key player in the on-demand service industry.
