Get any small task done by a fellow student, instantly.
CampusTask is a peer-to-peer marketplace connecting students who need help with everyday tasks like furniture assembly, moving boxes, note-taking, or cleaning with other students willing to do those tasks for a fee. Similar to TaskRabbit but exclusively for university campuses, it solves the pain of finding reliable, affordable help within the student community. Starting with a simple WhatsApp community and Google Sheets, we can later build a no-code app using Glide for a seamless booking experience, scaling across universities and potentially becoming the go-to platform for student gigs globally.
The gig economy is booming among students seeking flexible income, and many campuses lack a dedicated, trusted platform for small tasks. COVID accelerated digital services adoption, and hyper-local student communities remain underserved by large players like TaskRabbit. This is a low-cost, high-demand niche ready for disruption.
Join 10 relevant Facebook/WhatsApp groups for your university, notice the common tasks people request help with, and start a WhatsApp group called 'CampusTask [University]' inviting friends to post tasks or sign up as helpers, manually matching the first requests.
University students aged 18–25 living on or near campus. They need quick, low-cost help for errands, chores, and small projects. Pain points: lack of time, no car for transporting items, limited budget for professional services. They prefer peer-to-peer trust and cash-friendly transactions within their campus community.
Charge a 15–20% commission on each completed task. Initially, task posters pay a small service fee ($2–$5) when they book via the platform. Optional premium subscription for taskers at $5/month to feature their profile first. Acquire users through campus flyers, social media groups, and word-of-mouth. Lifetime value is high due to repeat usage throughout college years.
