How the company got here
TaskUs was founded in 2008 by two friends, Bryce Maddock and Jaspar Weir, who initially started a virtual assistant platform for startups.

It has grown significantly, with a global presence and a focus on serving innovative technology companies. TaskUs went public in June 2021 and is traded on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the ticker symbol TASK.
