Leah Busque: Save yourself the trouble. Outsource chores to taskrabbits.
We all get overwhelmed sometimes — too much work, endless chores at home, 1,000 errands on the to-do list and simply not enough time. Back in the day, we would try to do all of it by ourselves and sacrifice our free time in order to get everything done. But since 2008, thanks to TaskRabbit, one can decide which chores one can outsource to more than 60,000 carefully vetted and feedback-rated Taskers. The founder of this leading on-demand service marketplace is the young and talented Leah Busque — an ex-IBM software engineer and creator of technology products that have reached millions of people around the world. TaskRabbit, probably the most popular platform in the so-called gig economy, became a reality after Leah had a vision to revolutionize how we deal with our everyday problems and tasks and to help us become more efficient. Since the company was launched, TaskRabbit has managed to raise over $50 million in venture funding and has expanded internationally. Leah Busque was also named one of the 100 Most Creative People in Business by Fast Company and became a member of the Young Global Leaders thanks to her brave, bold and action-oriented ventures with a global impact. Not only does she impact our everyday actions, but as a digital technology enthusiast, she has been an active Angel Investor and Advisor for various companies, startups and venture funds.
Leah Busque — a very bright and creative entrepreneur with impressive achievements, recognitions and experience that she has been more than happy to share as a speaker at multiple international events like the World Economic Forum in Davos, at the University of Oxford or at Tina Brown’s Women in the World Summit in New York City.
Even though Leah is no longer the CEO of TaskRabbit, she is still part of the board as the executive chairwoman of the company.
