My guest for Episode 124 of The Startup Playbook Podcast was Tim Fung, the Co-founder & CEO of Airtasker.

Tim was previously a founding team member and investor in Australia’s first low cost mobile provider, Amaysim and is also the founder and director of several web startups.

However, he is best known as the Co-founder & CEO of Airtasker, a trusted community marketplace that connects people who need work done with people who want to work.

Since launching in 2012, Airtasker has grown to support more than 3.6 million members across Australia, with 30,000 monthly active Taskers and recently announced its expansion into the UK.
