From An Inconvenience To A $50 Million Company: The Story of TaskRabbit
Late one night in 2008, Leah Busque Solivan ran out of food for her yellow lab, Kobe. Little did she know that would plant the seed for what would become her $50 million company, TaskRabbit.
“When I realised I was out of dog food that night, I immediately thought, ‘There’s got to be a way to use my phone to pinpoint someone at the grocery store and connect with them and have them grab dog food for me, and I’m willing to pay them to do it,’” Busque Solivan says in an ABC News interview. “And that was the moment where I realized I could get really passionate about this idea. I know that I can build it, and it’s something that I felt could help people all over the world.”
