Dear Mr. Kaiser,

You helped build TaskRabbit into the platform that showed people would pay for help with everyday tasks — and that people would provide that help if given the infrastructure. You understand that home services aren’t about luxury — they’re about time.

We want to make that infrastructure work for everyone.

The Invitation We're inviting you to lead Household Concierge — our home services coordination initiative...

Why You

You understand that home services can be dignified work — not gig exploitation.

What TaskRabbit Demonstrated

  • People will pay for help
  • People will provide help if the infrastructure exists
  • Trust can be built through ratings and verification
  • Flexibility matters for both sides

What We’re Asking

  • Design Household Concierge’s service architecture
  • Create systems that work for providers AND households
  • Connect to your network of service professionals
  • Bring credibility to fair home services

You’ve built the gig economy version. We’re asking you to build the fair version.
