Airtasker’s marketplace model is cash generative at scale but requires upfront marketing investment to establish network eects.
-
Surplus cash generated in Australia enables investment into building UK and US markets (combined TAM of $955bn).[5]
-
Following the success of our partnership with Seven West Media[6] in Australia, we have commenced replicating the media-for-equity partnership model in new markets to leverage our investment and turbocharge growth.

Airtasker Australia includes Established Marketplaces (Airtasker Australia and Oneflare) plus global head oice costs.

A proven model to build profitable marketplaces
In FY24, our Australian (Airtasker Australia and Oneflare) marketplaces generated $31.0m of cash flow:
==> picture [321 x 62] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Revenue [1] $45.2m
Aributed expenses [2] $14.2m
EBITDA (Cash flow proxy) [1,3] $31.0m
----- End of picture text -----
To achieve this scale, commencing in 2016 we partnered with an Australian media network which provided media capital (advertising placement and content integrations) to generate scale and establish network eects:
-
Over a 4 year period (FY17-20) we invested $26m to build brand awareness and reach over $100m in GMV.
-
At the end of this initial investment period, we dialled down media investment and shifted to profitability.
-
strong GMV growth to over $190m in FY24 whilst driving increased monetisation and expanding profitability.

Opportunity to leverage our scalable software platform
In FY24 we invested $18.2m in building a world class software platform and head oice infrastructure that enables our global marketplaces.
Australian marketplace generates free cash flow well in excess of this investment.
We have an opportunity to continue to leverage our software platform (and head oice infrastructure) to enable new marketplaces and replicate the success we’ve achieved in Australia.

Cash investment turbocharged by local media partnerships
In each new marketplace, Airtasker provides access to a world class software platform combined with global marketing IP (brand, growth playbook and marketing/support functions).
From here, each marketplace then requires upfront marketing investment to establish network eects:
-
An initial cash investment is required to cover non-media marketing costs (e.g. digital performance marketing).
-
We then turbocharge this cash investment by establishing local partnerships with leading media companies which provide advertising to scale brand awareness and initial customer acquisition.
This investment model provides a capital-eicient way to fund upfront marketing investment whilst limiting downside risk.

Investment structure enables upside whilst mitigating downside risk…
At the end of the initial investment period (5-7 years) Airtasker1 re-purchases equity held by media partners on the following valuation basis:
Local Local Airtasker = x Valuation Revenue[2] Revenue[2] Multiple
Airtasker can re-purchase equity with cash or scrip3 (at Airtasker’s option) ensuring that Airtasker does not create fixed cash repayment obligations.
…and represents a compelling investment proposition for media partners:
-
Proven model - Airtasker has a strong software platform, proven marketplace growth playbook and a track record of delivering investor returns via media-for-equity partnerships.[4]
-
- software platform is licensed by Airtasker to
-
the local operating company, reducing the risk of “zeroing out” and enabling margins to be reinvested in growth.
-
Guaranteed exit - Airtasker provides exposure to both local and global performance upside combined with a guaranteed liquidity event (via either cash or scrip[3] ).
This investment model incentivises each local media partner to drive local revenue growth whilst aligning outcomes to the overall success of Airtasker.
-
Ultimate parent entity Airtasker Limited.
-
Revenue calculated on a trailing twelve months basis.
-
Subject to the approval of Airtasker Limited shareholders.
-
Seven West Media invested in Airtasker in May 2016 generating a 5x ROI over 5 years.
