Initially kicked off in 2008, TaskRabbit grew into one of the major small job platforms in the U.S. having raised over $37 million across several rounds for expansion with the likes of Founders Fund, Shasta Ventures, 500 Startups, First Round Capital, Allen & Company and Baseline Ventures being notable backers.

IKEA acquired the service September last year to provide its customers with additional ways to access flexible and affordable service solutions with its on-demand services platform.
