Paul Vezelis, experienced in various tech and management roles, collaborated with co-founder Almantas Zemblys to create Tasku.app in 2020. The platform gained traction by offering a flexible work model that addressed labor shortages in grocery stores. Initially launched in Lithuania, Traxlo drew support from the Antler Accelerator in Sweden, which helped refine their product and business strategy.
