Airtasker

Ground Floor, 71 York St, Sydney, NSW, 2000, Australia

Overview

Airtasker operates a two-sided marketplace where consumers post tasks—ranging from home repairs to administrative support—and qualified ‘Taskers’ bid to complete the work. The company leverages media-for-equity partnerships to build brand awareness and accelerate geographic expansion in Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. In FY25, Airtasker’s revenue increased 12.8% to A$52.6 million, driven partly by a 111% surge in UK marketplace sales to A$21 million. Despite a net loss of A$31.5 million—largely attributable to A$46.3 million in sales and marketing spend and unrealised accounting losses—the business achieved positive free cash flow of A$1.2 million. Management views proactive marketing, particularly through media partnerships, as critical to scaling the platform and cementing Airtasker as a household name in key markets. The company has secured more than A$51 million in media deals during 2024 with partners such as oOh!media, ARN, TelevisaUnivision, iHeartMedia, Sinclair and Mercurius. Airtasker’s current focus is to deepen penetration in the UK while continuing to grow its user base and task volume across existing regions.
