Tim & Jonathan came up with the idea for Airtasker in 2011 when Tim was moving apartments and had so many chores and errands that needed completing: from packing boxes to end-of-bond cleaning to assembling flat pack furniture. They had seen what was happening in the local, mobile economy and thought that there had to be a place where people could find other people to help them with these types of tasks, especially when there were so many people looking for jobs!
