Airtasker is a Sydney-based Australian company which provides an online and mobile marketplace, enabling users to outsource everyday tasks.

[4] Co-founders Tim Fung and Jonathan Lui devised the Airtasker concept in 2011, when they relocated apartments and realised that many of the related tasks could be outsourced to other people.

[5] Funding for the venture was facilitated by existing relationships with investors, forged by Fung and Lui's shared workplace, the mobile start-up Amaysim.

[6] The team successfully raised AUD $1.5 million two months after launch and began expanding its offering to cater for businesses as well as individuals.

[11] In 2017, Sydney company Freelancer alleged that Airtasker misappropriated confidential information in the usage of the term "Like a boss" in their advertising campaign.

[22] In July 2014, Airtasker acquired Melbourne-based odd jobs outsourcing business Occasional Butler[23] and claimed to have 130,000 community members and an annual task run rate of over $4 million.
