It's basically just an app that creates a market place for those with tasks or classes and those who want things and are willing to pay.

They will take a % fee from each transaction.

I told him I think there are other similar apps out there and asked him how many members they have.

He invested $100k already at a $4mm valuation and says they're rolling it out later this month with only 100 test members so far. $0 revenue so it's pre-revenue.

What is the proper valuation here?

$0, because TaskRabbit already exists for tasks, as does OfferUp, Letgo and Wallapop for things, and Meetup for classes and groups along with countless other apps doing the same thing.

tasks + classes + used items is just putting it all together in a trying-to-be-everything-to-everyone shitstew.

yeah but they do classes too.

for example, let's say you need a tutor for german but you don't trust craigslist so you can use them for this. it's like angie's list and taskrabbit combined.

all depends on how much you like losing money, and how pleased you will be to see your friends wasting it.
