Roman Kirigetov and His Service "Throw a Little Pig

$60,000 – that's the amount received by the startup "Piglet Dash" from four Ukrainian angel investors, who were helped to be found by the project's founders through the EastLabs incubator.

The purpose of the "Piglet Dash" service is to find performers for various tasks that a user cannot or does not want to do themselves. The service is oriented towards two categories of people. The first category includes busy individuals looking to save time by using the services of the second category of people who are looking to earn extra income in their spare time. Co-founder of the startup, Roman Kirigetov, plans to utilize the raised funds for promoting the project in Kyiv and other major cities in Ukraine. There are also plans to expand to markets in other CIS countries in the future.

The project was launched in September 2012, and by October of the same year, it had 25 clients and 122 performers registered on the platform. Currently, the site boasts 3500 clients, 9000 performers, and sees the creation of 1000 tasks per month. The monetization model is based on a commission taken from each task. When creating a task, the client specifies the amount they are willing to spend on its completion. From this amount, a commission is deducted, leaving the remainder as the fee for the performer.

"Piglet Dash" startup was recognized at the startup awards during IDCEE 2013: It won in the "Yandex" The Best Consumer Startup category. As a prize, the startup received 3,000 euros for an advertising campaign.
