Fancy Hands, With $1 Million in Funding, Launches Group Accounts
Summary
Fancy Hands biggest competitors are companies with equally as ridiculous names such as GetFriday, AskSunday, and those featured in the four-hour work week canon. Roden says Fancy Hands is more expensive but its domestic assistants dont face any cultural barriers to completing tasks. Roden admits the company hasnt done a great job of giving users examples of ways to use the service, which is something he plans to focus more on now that TeamWork is in place. The launch of TeamWork coincides with an overall relaunch -- Fancy Hands hired David Trawin, former designer at Busted Tees, to redesign the site. The service would not, unfortunately, call Chase to negotiate for a lower credit card rate, which seemed like it could have been an identity theft liability anyways.
