The problem

Start-ups and small companies do not have a well-adjusted organization scheme. People tend to struggle with defining what their activities and attributions should be, as, in the beginning, a business is rather chaotic on a day to day basis. A bad task-management system leads to inefficient practises that could translate into financial loses.

Our solution

TaskYourself is a web application for efficient project management.

• Users can plan, follow and organize their tasks within a project using a single application.
• Every team member can see the bigger picture and it becomes clear what they have to do.
• The entire history of the activities is accessible at any time, and searching for past, current and future plans is easy and immediate.

Cost structure

Startup costs require careful planning and meticulous accounting.

• Advertising and promotion - we will never succedd without promoting
• Softare Services

Revenue streams

The project aims to gain popularity by offering a 6-months trial period for companies. After the expiration of the trial, companies will pay a monthly fee, depending on the number of their employees.
Any individual outside of a company’s boundaries will be able to use the application free of charge, in order to drive adoption and in the hope that individuals who have successfully organised their tasks with TaskYourself would consider upgrading to a company subscription as soon as they start their own business.
