opportunities

2. • TASK.IO provides
disadvantaged communities
and people with disabilities
access to employment
opportunities
• It allows people to earn a living
from their mobile phone,
working on tasks paid for by
buyers who benefit from
crowdsourced task processing
TASK.IO in a nutshell

3. • Tasks are sent into channels and selectively distributed to workers
who complete the tasks via their mobile devices
• Completed tasks are sent back to the buyers complete with team
analytics and payments handled by TASK.IO
How it works

4. • The core system is fully developed with impressive mobile
responsiveness. It can handle many different task types including
mass crowd tasking, custom work flows and geo-location specific
tasks
• An iOS Native app is at beta stages with a team of users testing it
before a full release
• We are working with key partners and early adopters on enterprise
level services to provide proof of concepts, case studies and base
revenues
• We are looking to secure seed funding to expand the business
commercially
Where we are

5. • We will provide employment to disadvantaged communities using
the platform to facilitate Impact Sourcing projects (socially
responsible outsourcing) between multi-nationals and poor
communities
• We will create additional crowd sourced employment opportunities
with existing partners with commercial Crowd Recruitment
applications
• We will secure first milestone and "sanity" revenues through direct
sales of Enterprise Services to businesses looking to increase task
processing efficiencies
Where we’re headed

6. 1. Enterprise Services and Impact Sourcing projects provide fixed
monthly revenues for use of the platform to distribute and manage
their tasks
2. When users pay their team for completing work via TASK.IO, we
take a 10% fee on the transaction
3. Where users want to offer their services externally, TASK.IO
provides payment gateway services with a 5% fee on transactions
Revenue models

7. What makes TASK.IO different?
• It’s a framework that allows new digital services and commercial
tasking applications to be developed on top of it
• Uncompromisingly mobile first - baked in to its DNA, any task added
to TASK.IO is presented with perfect mobile user experience
Competitors

8. • Amazon MTurk - the clear market leader in microtasks, but without
any mobile first strategy
• Task Rabbit - well funded, but focusses on physical tasks such as
plumbing or house maintenance (so not really a competitor)
• Click Worker, Crowd Flower & Click Chores - The strongest
competitor threats, but they do not offer the framework (build your
own Task application) approach that TASK.IO offers, nor position
themselves as mobile first
• Virtual Bee - homeworker focussed without a clear mobile first
strategy
Competitor analysis

9. • The market size of Impact Sourcing is currently pegged at US$10.7 billion,
employing nearly 561,000 people…it is projected that by 2020, the Impact
Sourcing sector will grow substantially, to employ 2.9 million people and
generate revenues of US$55.4 billion (source: rockefellerfoundation.org)
• With user penetration in poorer communities through employment
provision, TASK.IO becomes a natural mobile software platform to aid in
crowd sourced Crisis & Disaster Management
• The use of the “crowd” to provide scalable, efficient crowdsourcing
applications such as Crowd Recruitment is currently still in its early stages
and will see massive growth
• The next few years will see rapid growth of a new market - people who
predominantly earn their living from their mobile devices. TASK.IO is
perfectly positioned to address their needs
How big can this get?

11. • TASK.IO is an amazing opportunity to develop a commercially
successful business that provides ethical work opportunities
• Its mobile first approach is inline with the internet access habits of
poorer countries giving it massive workforce potential
• It is built, developed and ready to go. Funding will go into developing
the commercial success of the business, not just the technology.
• Enterprise services provide quick “low hanging fruit’ revenue streams
whilst we pursue the more ambitious Impact Sourcing and Crowd
Recruitment applications
• With its unique “Framework” approach, as markets and competitors
change, TASK.IO can move to provide new tasking applications
quickly providing some “future proofing”
