Particularly when you factor in some big radio jobs in the UK along with proximity to some successful audio startups.But Meliora appears to be a little more than your typical one-person, stay-occupied-until-something-else-comes-up advisory. Dickens says that he's recurited another five partners to eventually join the business, and in the meantime identified another 10 “associates” to fill the gap in the mean time.He also plans an investment arm which will focus on startups, and additionally a creative IP fund to put money behind interesting creators.Dickens expands on his plans in the podcast interview with Unmade's Tim Burrowes.He says: “They're not just investments. They're partners. The significant number are in the AI space. And we want to bring and leverage some of those products and services to our clients as well to help them unlock that AI value.”The conversation also touches on his plans around media equity - working with media companies to offer distressed inventory in exchange for stakes in busiensses that need to build their profile. It was a model he successfully applied on behalf of Seven West Media with Airtasker.And he says that his plan to invest in creative work is in part at least a response to the disruption being caused by generative AI. “In a world where there's going to be less traditional jobs because of gen AI, we wanted to invest in jobs that we believe only humans will be able to do.”More from Mumbrella…* Getting ahead and the importance of progress to brands* Brittany Higgins joins Third Hemisphere* Free TV chair Greg Hywood steps down* Is the PR industry still a great place to work?Today's podcast was edited by Abe's Audio.Time to leave you to your evening.

In this episode of Screw It Just Do It, host Alex Chisnall chats with Tim Fung, founder of Airtasker, the revolutionary platform connecting people with on-demand workers. Tim shares his entrepreneurial journey, from launching in 2012 to expanding globally with millions of users.

Airtasker Ltd CEO Tim Fung talked with Proactive at AIM's Small and Midcap Conference about the company's strategic focus across innovation, growth, and international expansion.** Fung outlined how Airtasker differentiates itself in the local services marketplace by operating as a community platform, where both customers and taskers set job scopes and pricing, rather than the company enforcing set rates. He emphasised Airtasker's approach to worker empowerment, noting, *“The top people on our platform are running 150, 200 thousand dollars a year doing these kinds of jobs.”* Fung also acknowledged the challenges of the current consumer environment, pointing to Airtasker's 14.8% revenue growth in the half as a result of lean operations and renewed brand investment. A key part of Airtasker's strategy involves innovation across customer acquisition, user experience, and operational efficiency—highlighting its collaboration with OpenAI and use of AI tools like Copilot and Zendesk AI. Fung also discussed partnerships, including one with Visa Cash App Racing Bulls, as examples of how Airtasker showcases the diverse range of skilled work enabled by the platform. He concluded by outlining the investor case: a cash-generative, proven business model in Australia being used to fund international growth in the US and UK, offering upside potential with limited downside. #Airtasker #TimFung #ASX #GigEconomy #AIIntegration #MarketplacePlatform #SmallCapStocks #TechInnovation #FY25Strategy #ProactiveInvestors #OpenAI #GlobalExpansion #InvestorUpdates #StartupGrowth

BIO: Justus Hammer is the Group CEO and Co-founder of Mad Paws. Over the past two years, he has invested in over 45 startups. He has served as an advisor and early investor in Airtasker and a founding investor and advisor to VICE Golf.STORY: Justus developed an idea to make real estate buying easier. He wanted to expand outside of Australia when COVID hit. Justus took a pause, thinking that the market would tank further. Instead, property prices doubled in the next 18 months.LEARNING: What works in one asset class will not necessarily work in another. The real estate market dynamics are very different in each market. Timing matters, but you can never really know whether your timing is right until after. “I don't think there is a single truth or strategy that works for everyone. Just think about it and ask yourself what you want to achieve and what the most likely scenario is for you to get there.”Justus Hammer Guest profileJustus Hammer is the Group CEO and Co-founder of Mad Paws. He has invested in over 45 startups over the past two years, serving as an advisor and early investor to Airtasker and a founding investor and advisor to VICE Golf. He has not only been involved in starting more than ten companies in the tech space, like Spreets and Mad Paws, but has also developed a growing interest in cash flow businesses over the past ten years.Worst investment everJustus saw a big opportunity in the real estate space to improve and make purchasing a property easier. There's a whole lot of angst that goes with that, and many people are very scared about the process and sometimes get it wrong. So, Justus and his company wanted to create a better way to get buyers from property A into property B.They spent time building the idea and even had some of Australia's biggest real estate companies backing them. In the beginning, the company was working and managed to transact around 40 properties.But it was a tough time in Australia's real estate market, so Justus ran into many issues. One particular issue was timing. The market was going down, so they had to buy properties, try to improve them, and sell them quickly.They also ran into the problem of not being aggressive enough on the buying side, so they couldn't get many properties. Still, they made money on about 60 or 70% of their properties. But they also had a couple that really killed them.Justus believed the market would improve, so they sat through it. The market kept dropping, and they started looking for other opportunities. They began to look closer into the numbers, the unit economics, and what had been working. They realized the model was working pretty well outside Australia.His company decided to expand into Europe, but before they did, COVID hit. COVID changed the dynamics completely. Debt facility providers pulled back and refused to give them a loan. Their real estate partners decided to figure out the situation first, believing the market value would go down. The market turned out to be the opposite, and property prices doubled in the next 18 months.Lessons learnedWhat works in one asset class will not necessarily work in another.The real estate market dynamics are very different in the US, Europe, and Australia.You can't have regrets in investing. You've got to take the good and the bad.There isn't a single truth or strategy that works for everyone.Andrew's takeawaysTiming matters, but you can never really know whether your timing is right until after.Transferring a business model doesn't

Up to 80% of your conversion rate is determined by your messaging. Without a clear message, your audience won't understand what you do or how you can help them. But with the right words to mobilize your mission, your customers won't just buy from you once–they'll tell their friends, too. Tim Fung is the co-founder and CEO of Airtasker, a trusted online marketplace that connects people who need work done with people who want to work and have the skills to do the job. Airtasker's mission is to empower people to realize the full value of their skills–to create jobs, income, and purpose, and have a positive impact on the future of work on a global scale. The company's powerful messaging has paved the way for rapid growth and expansion. Prior to starting Airtasker, Tim was a founding team member and investor in telco startup Amaysim, playing a key role in strategy and capital raising. He is a founder and director of several web startups, including online custom shirt design business Joe Button and motorsport event management group Circuit Club. A Compelling Reason to Change When developing Airtasker, Tim knew their biggest challenge would be to get people on the platform. Once they started using it, they would see the value–but getting people to adopt any new technology can be difficult. The solution was to offer users a compelling reason to change their behavior.  Most taskers (the people on Airtasker who offer services) were used to a pay-per-lead model, where they paid for advertising in the hopes that it would lead to a job. Airtasker flipped that model on its head: taskers can use the platform for free, see what jobs are available, and apply for as many as they want. Airtasker only takes a percentage fee once the job is booked. They also came up with a compelling reason for customers to try the platform. Unlike other gig economy apps, Airtasker starts by asking their customers to describe their problem (however niche it might be). Then taskers are free to suggest creative solutions. For example, if someone accidentally flies their drone into a tree, they can post on Airtasker for help getting it down. The community-driven model means there are also very few disputes between customers and taskers. Out of hundreds of thousands of tasks completed each month, less than one in 10,000 become disputes. Building a Brand People Resonate With Since Airtasker's inception, Tim and his co-founder have been intentional about building a brand around their mission: to empower people to realize the value of their skills. For example, their “like a boss” campaign featured a variety of taskers who don't fit the traditional model of what a “boss” looks like, but have been able to create a business for themselves using Airtasker.  It's a message that resonates with their target audience–both taskers, who enjoy having control over their income, and customers, who appreciate the contribution to the local community. The result is happy customers and powerful word-of-mouth marketing. Enjoy this episode with co-founder & CEO Tim Fung… Quotes “Why do we ask friends and family to do these kinds of jobs when there are so many people out there who want to earn a living?” “There's nothing more motivating than knowing this is your thing and you have to make it work.” “It's kind of like the world's oldest business model in some sense. It's not an innovative business model but it's actually something that hasn't existed yet.” “Having more people in the marketplace makes it a better business for everyone.” “Every place across the world has the commonality of: you need people who have skills and you need to get stuff done. The great thing about the business model is that the local people decide what that thing is.” Links mentioned in this episode: Airtasker website: http://www.airtasker.com  Connect with Tim on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/timjfung

On today's episode I caught up with the genius creative mind behind one of my favourite businesses ACID.FLWRS, Claire Muller. Claire shares her startup story that took her on a journey from Perth to London and eventually her home today Sydney Australia. She shares the lessons learnt from changing career paths, working for an innovative startup with small budgets with working for leading startup Airtasker. Her insight into finding which path to follow, facing a life changing moment that put life on hold and figuring out what to do next before. Claire started ACID.FLWRS, as a side hustle, passion project in 2020 when she was experimenting with flowers and spray paint. It went on to grow a cult-like Instagram following and led her to collaborating with brands such as VANS shoes, Casetify and producing installations for the National Gallery of Victoria. Packed with raw storytelling, startup tips and advice on how to get a creative project off the ground from her 15 years experience in styling and communication with brands around the world as well as starting and scaling ACID.FLWRS  Enjoy the show and check out Claire's work https://www.acidflwrs.com   https://www.clairemueller.com

Because of its large population, India, in absolute terms, is expected to lose the equivalent of 34 million full-time jobs in 2030 due to heat stress. Heat is linked with the deterioration of working conditions, reduction in productivity, and a compromise in workers' security and well-being. Anupriya Mohta and Sudisha Mishra contextualise the heat stress problem in India, how it's linked with job losses, and what policy measures can be taken. Do follow IVM Podcasts on social media.

Tim Fung, CEO and co-founder of community marketplace Airtasker, tells us how the business has amassed a global following and expanded markets as demand for flexible work soars.

James Spenceley is arguably one of Australia's most successful entrepreneurs turned venture capitalist, local politician and philanthropist. He is also someone Samantha and The PR Hub has had the pleasure of working with over the past six years.  The three time Young Rich lister and two time EY Entrepreneur of the Year winner is one of the youngest Australians to found and lead an ASX 100 company, Vocus Communications. He's Chair of publicly listed companies Airtasker and Swoop, along with being a Non-Executive Director of Kogan. In 2021 he decided to turn his hand to local politics and was elected as a counselor for North Sydney Council in NSW. Yet while James is known for a hearty risk appetite in business, perhaps his most courageous project to date has been a deeply personal one, delivering custom built ambulances and medical equipment to the front lines of the war in Ukraine (James' wife, Victoriia, is Ukrainian and they first met while James was living in Ukraine many years ago).  Why ambulances? Because ambulances were desperately needed, which speaks to one of James' most important tips for anyone in business: ask What does your customer really need? “We approached our drive to contribute to the war effort in Ukraine like we would a business - what's needed, how do we fulfil the need better - and evolved the product accordingly.” “As soon as people heard about it, they wanted to give, we got press, and the momentum started building. It's been incredible.” Join James in conversation with Samantha as they delve into how to effectively manage stress, deal with negative publicity, and what drives the indefatigable James Spenceley forward every day (yes, there is Red Bull involved).

Louise Nobes is the founder of the Australian arm of 42 - a globally innovative software engineering and coding trade school. 42 is free to attend with entry criteria being that you must be 16 to attend and either undergo a strenuous 2 hour logic test (and pass) or a 4 week intensive bootcamp (and pass).    An ex-social worker, Louise is incredibly passionate about supporting underprivileged and underrepresented people. While teaching at Flinders NVI, Louise became fixated on wanting to push into work of the future and how it would look to bring in the best educational model that focused on coding and jobs - and one that was open to everyone. After looking up 42 on the advice of a colleague, Louise contacted the French headquarters to ask if she could become the Australia license holder. Within 24 hours they agreed.    Louise looks at everything with a lens focused on diversity and equality. She is driven by a desire to solve some of the really complex problems in society - one problem in particular being youth unemployment. Through 42, she's also looking to squash some of the statistics currently running through the tech industry. Stats such as only 25% of people in the tech sector identify as female; the number for software engineering dwindling down to 12%. At 42, 30% of intake are women, 40% are neurodiverse and 28% did not finish grade 12, all proving that 42 is open to all.    Running for just over a year in Adelaide, 42 has seen 450 students pass through its ranks and move straight in employment via a red hot recruitment market. The learning philosophy is all practical without any theory with students working across around 200 projects during the course of their learning curriculum. With a long term goal of being first and front of mind for digital apprenticeships, Louise plans on setting up shop in Sydney as a second Australian market very soon with a goal of 1500 students through the door.    Quickfire Round  Book: Jacinda Ardern (I Know This To Be True): On kindness, empathy & strength Podcast: The Game Changers  News Source: YouTube  App: Spotify  Tech CEO: Allison Nikula (CareApp) Productivity Tool: My brain + team use Airtasker   TV Show: Peaky Blinders  Ted Talk Topic: What will it take to get equality in tech and are we prepared to really listen to what that is.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Important quotes from Naval on building wealth and the difference between wealth and money:   How to get rich without getting lucky. - Naval Ravikant   Making money is not a thing you do—it's a skill you learn. - Naval Ravikant   I came up with the principles in my tweetstorm (below) for myself when I was really young, around thirteen or fourteen. I've been carrying them in my head for thirty years, and I've been living them. Over time (sadly or fortunately), the thing I got really good at was looking at businesses and figuring out the point of maximum leverage to actually create wealth and capture some of that created wealth. - Naval Ravikant   Seek wealth, not money or status. - Naval Ravikant   Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. - Naval Ravikant   Money is how we transfer time and wealth. - Naval Ravikant   Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.    You're not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity—a piece of a business—to gain your financial freedom.  - Naval Ravikant   The most important skill for getting rich is becoming a perpetual learner. You have to know how to learn anything you want to learn. The old model of making money is going to school for four years, getting your degree, and working as a professional for thirty years. But things change fast now. Now, you have to come up to speed on a new profession within nine months, and it's obsolete four years later. But within those three productive years, you can get very wealthy. - Naval Ravikant     Important quotes from the podcast by Naval on Leverage:   “Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand, and I will move the earth.”  —Archimedes    To get rich, you need leverage. Leverage comes in labor, comes in capital, or it can come through code or media. But most of these, like labor and capital, people have to give to you. For labor, somebody has to follow you. For capital, somebody has to give you money, assets to manage, or machines. - Naval Ravikant   Fortunes require leverage. Business leverage comes from capital, people, and products with no marginal cost of replication (code and media). - Naval Ravikant   Capital and labor are permissioned leverage. Everyone is chasing capital, but someone has to give it to you. Everyone is trying to lead, but someone has to follow you. - Naval Ravikant   Code and media are permissionless leverage. They're the leverage behind the newly rich. You can create software and media that works for you while you sleep. - Naval Ravikant   If you can't code, write books and blogs, record videos and podcasts. - Naval Ravikant   Leverage is a force multiplier for your judgment. - Naval Ravikant   Apply specific knowledge, with leverage, and eventually you will get what you deserve. - Naval Ravikant   “We live in an age of infinite leverage, and the economic rewards for genuine intellectual curiosity have never been higher. Following your genuine intellectual curiosity is a better foundation for a career than following whatever is making money right now.” - Naval Ravikant   Important Quotes from the podcast on Business and Entrepreneurship   There is no skill called “business.” Avoid business magazines and business classes. - Naval Ravikant   You have to work up to the point where you can own equity in a business. You could own equity as a small shareholder where you bought stock. You could also own it as an owner where you started the company. Ownership is really important.     Everybody who really makes money at some point owns a piece of a product, a business, or some IP. That can be through stock options if you work at a tech company. That's a fine way to start.    But usually, the real wealth is created by starting your own companies or even by investing. In an investment firm, they're buying equity. These are the routes to wealth. It doesn't come through the hours. - Naval Ravikant

Vincent Wei is the Head of Growth (Product & growth) at VEED.IO, one of the fastest growing startups by revenue in the world. He was first introduced to the world of startups when he began CodeCreate, one of Australia's first coding school for kids, while still at university. The school generated 6-figure revenue but his next startup unfortunately didn't do so well.Burnt out, Vincent decided to take a break and travel the world before returning as Employee #3 on the growth team at AirTasker - which later became one of Australia's largest marketplace for services. That was no mean feat, given that the startup was burning $35 million annually and on the verge on collapse then!They managed to turn the startup around but Vincent left before AirTasker IPOed in 2021 (and we discuss why in this episode!) to join VEED.io - the Canva of video editing - as Head of Growth. VEED recently raised $35M from Sequoia and is currently going through an exciting growth phase, so this is definitely a startup to keep an eye on!Highlights:3:32 How Harry Potter helped Vincent learn English5:20 Being driven to succeed8:41 Not wanting to be a dropkick13:51 Founding CodeCreate to teach kids how to build Minecraft18:48 How CodeCreate's cohort went from 3 to 86 kids23:00 Getting a contract role at Suncorp29:29 Founding his 2nd startup32:37 How Lambda School inspired them35:48 Why Cody failed38:16 Travelling the world42:35 The power of LinkedIn outreach & chatting with James Clear47:26 Joining AirTasker when it was burning $30 million annually49:27 How they turned AirTasker around54:51 Why Vincent left AirTasker56:25 How Vincent's role at VEED has evolved over time59:09 What Vincent looks for when he hires1:01:08 Influencing others virtually
