mylackey.com Information

mylackey.com was a Dot-com company of the late 1990s, based in Seattle, Washington, North America. It was in founded in April 1999 by Brendan Barnicle and Brian McGarvey, two former executives of another Internet startup company, eChange. Among the venture capital firms investing in mylackey.com was WaldenVC, which provided $6.5M in second-round funding. The company's business model involved arranging errands, such as car washing, dog-walking, shopping, and dry cleaning, for "busy professionals". The errands were carried out by local businesses that had signed contracts with mylackey. As part of the arrangement, contractors were required to wear mylackey livery when they carried out a mylackey order. The contractors agreed that mylackey would give them a smaller portion of the revenue than they would have received from an independent order, in exchange for the extra business. The end customers were charged the standard going rate for a certain service, and mylackey retained the difference. The company's primary geographical focus was Seattle, Washington DC and Portland, Oregon.
