  • Tim Fung - Co-founder Airtasker
    Aug 24 2023

    Airtasker is part of the Australian vernacular. Tim Fung co-founded Airtasker with Jonathan Lui in Feb 2012. In this hard hitting interview, Tim discusses how they raised money and built Airtasker into a global business and all the issues they face. Airtasker has 1.5m customers, and provides $200m per annum in work to Taskers (people who do the work) . It also has operations in the USA and UK. The interview covers how Airtasker ensures the revenue split is fair and why one should still use Airtasker even if you can go direct to the Tasker. Airtasker is listed on the ASX since March 2021, and Tim discusses the poor performance of the share price and why the priority is global growth.

    In Ukraine, James met Viktoria, a native Ukrainian whom he married in 2007.

    James and Victoria live in Sydney.

    When the Russians invaded Ukraine, James decided he wanted to make some contribution to the war effort. First he bought 2 second hand ambulances and delivered them himself to the front line in Ukraine. But then decided that 4WD cars were better suited to the terrain so now he buys these cars and has them converted into ambulances. James has a fund raising page - https://www.gofundme.com/f/ausukraineaid - and all contributions go directly to this cause with nothing being paid for administration. James pays for his trips to Ukraine himself. This is a great way to support Ukraine. This is his story
