AskforTask was born in 2012, and since then, it has been a rollercoaster ride (if rollercoasters only went up). We have reached the point of maturity where we are viewed as a trustworthy service that people can rely on. May 2016 marks a pivotal month for AskforTask: the complete company-wide rebrand and the launch of the new app for booking tasks.

On April 18th, Kate McKenna covered her “Must have Spring cleaning apps” on The Social (CTV). Apart from AskforTask, the segment covered a wide range of cleaning apps like “Brightness” (creates tailored home-maintenance lists, cleaning projects, and cool tutorials), “Think Dirty” (states “dirty ratings” of your makeup products so you can decide which ones to toss), “Trend Trunk (an online marketplace that allows you to sell your used clothing online), and “Flic” (“Spring clean” all of the photos on your phone to make room for more memories).

Well, there is an app for that! AskforTask!

Kate described how, through the AskforTask app, you can request anything from cleaning, handymen, dog walking, and even IKEA furniture assembly!

With the rise of the sharing economy, there is now an elevated trust between people that allows companies like AskforTask to thrive. To provide you with the most trustworthy and brilliant workers (Taskers) around, we have introduced a new system to certify and ensure the quality of the people who will be completing tasks for you.

We are now entering a new era that we call “Urban Tech”. Companies are utilizing the immense power of technology to solve pressing challenges in cities to make people’s lives easier. The Urban Tech movement is enabling cities to change the way that they function by creating a faster paced environment and becoming a platform that empowers the people that live there.

From June 21st to the 23rd, Montréal will be buzzing as it hosts the New Cities Summit. The summit will bring in Urban Tech leaders from around the world to engage in global discussions around the challenges, opportunities and best practices of the cities of the future.

As an Urban Tech entrepreneur, AskforTask’s CEO Muneeb Mushtaq will be speaking on June 22nd as part of a shared economy breakout panel: “Sharing is Caring, Trust is Key”. It is incredible to see the way that people have integrated sharing economy companies into their everyday lives. Even ten years ago, the concept of allowing strangers into your house to perform tasks, or welcoming unknown people to stay at your house in your absence was unimaginable. The success of this type of platform is based on two things: firstly, elevated trust between strangers, and secondly, the increased awareness that the average person can make additional income from the skills and assets that they already have. The panel will discuss how the sharing economy has led to heightened trust between city dwellers, and how regulatory bodies can build on “technology-enabled trust-based interactions” to help the urban innovation ecosystem thrive.
