There’s an open secret among tech startups: 

Many of the most well-known AI-powered, automated innovations actually started off powered by old-fashioned, outsourced human labor.

And for anyone who led such a startup in the last decade, the odds are good they’ll know today’s guest.

That’s because, in this episode, I’m speaking with Jaspar Weir , Co-Founder of TaskUs , the go-to outsourcer for many of the most recognizable companies within the tech industry and beyond.

We discuss:

  • Jaspar’s entrepreneurial roots in the nightlife industry
  • How a love for Argentina eventually led to Jaspar becoming an outsourcer extraordinaire
  • Why TaskUs decided to go public
  • The simple secret to improving culture within a company
