In 2008, high school best friends, Bryce Maddock and Jaspar Weir, invested their $20,000 life savings to launch a virtual B2C personal assistant company and website. The idea was simple: Busy professionals could upload their task requirements, and the TaskUs team would handle them.
Bryce and Jaspar chose the Philippines, hired five employees and rented a single-room office in Bacoor, Cavite, where TaskUs quickly gained a reputation for providing quality service and fostering a people-first culture where teammates could be their authentic selves. They soon added innovative new services focused on critical business functions.
In 2018, Blackstone, the world’s largest alternative asset manager, invested in the company, and in 2021, TaskUs became a publicly listed company on Nasdaq.
Today, TaskUs is a leading provider of outsourced digital services and next-generation customer experience to the world’s most innovative companies, helping its clients represent, protect, and grow their brands.
