Airtasker now has over 500,000 Members<\/b><\/p>\n

Five years ago, Jonathan and I founded Airtasker on the back of a simple errand. Little did we think that an idea we came up with while we were moving house would grow into company that touches almost every major city in Australia, provides work for thousands, and helps everyday Australians get more done with their day. <\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re announcing a new milestone in our journey. After years of solid growth, Airtasker has finally hit half a million members. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a huge achievement for us and our team. Airtasker\u2019s growth has been exponential since it\u2019s humble beginning in February 2012. On average Airtasker added around 10,000 members a month in 2014. In 2016, it\u2019s typically adding close to 25,000 new members per month<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the number of tasks posted on Airtasker has also exploded. We hit a new record this year with over 30,000 tasks posted<\/strong> in March. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s remarkable to see that some of our members have woven their use of Airtasker into their everyday lives. <\/p>\n

Mulgrave removalist and Kiwi expat, Muss M. has done a whopping 557 tasks through Airtasker in just five months<\/strong>. He\u2019s achieved a five star rating for his work every time and is yet to cancel a job. To an extent, the platform serves as a key growth channel for his business. It\u2019s a story we\u2019ve seen repeated time and time again for SMBs across the country. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also been heartened to see some members stick with us from the very beginning. Kevin Liew is one of them. He first joined in February 2012, and since then has completed a wide variety of tasks from dressing up as a mascot to forming part of a greeting party for an overseas traveller arriving at the Airport. <\/p>\n

The way our members harness the platform still continues to astonish us. We\u2019ve seen people arrange fake dates, ask for newspaper clippings to be sent abroad, organise parties, mind pets, model for fashion shoots. The list goes on, and grows more diverse each year. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve learned a lot from building this vibrant and successful marketplace. And we a keen to see it grow and reach new heights. We are also keen to leverage that knowledge in some future projects we are working on. But that\u2019s an announcement for another time. <\/p>\n
