Bark has over 20m users worldwide.[1] DescriptionBark matches service buyers to suitable service providers. Buyers describe the service that they are looking for, and Bark matches them to businesses in their local area who they believe can assist the buyer.[1] HistoryBark was founded in 2014 and launched in January 2015. It is privately funded by serial entrepreneur Andrew Michael, who sold his previous businesses Fasthosts and Livedrive for close to $230m.[2][3][4] In January 2015, it was announced that Bark had purchased struggling Dublin-based skills marketplace SkillPages from liquidators KPMG for an undisclosed sum, after the Irish business accrued €24m in debt.[5] As part of this deal, Bark transferred all of SkillPages' 20m users onto their platform.[6][1][7] In March 2015, English television presenter Nick Hewer became Bark's brand ambassador, producing a series of videos for the company.[8][9] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|publisher=TechCrunch|title=Skills Marketplace Skillpages Acquired By Buyer-Focused Bark.com|url=https://techcrunch.com/2015/02/04/bark-buys-skillpages/}} 2. ^{{cite web|publisher=The Next Web|title=Troubled Local Services Site SkillPages Acquired By Bark|url=https://thenextweb.com/insider/2015/02/04/troubled-local-services-site-skillpages-acquired-bark/}} 3. ^{{cite web|publisher=Digital Business Academy |title=5 UK Tech CEOs Who Exited Before They Were 30 |url=http://blog.digitalbusinessacademyuk.com/5-uk-tech-ceos-who-exited-they-were-30 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150713062038/http://blog.digitalbusinessacademyuk.com/5-uk-tech-ceos-who-exited-they-were-30 |archivedate=2015-07-13 |df= }} 4. ^{{cite web|publisher=AGC|title=AGC Partners Advises Livedrive on its Sale To J2 Global|url=http://agcpartners.com/transactions/agc-partners-advises-livedrive-on-its-sale-to-j2-global/}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bmmagazine.co.uk/news/skillpages-sold-bark-com-undisclosed-sum/|title=Skillpages sold to Bark.com for undisclosed sum|publisher=BM Magazine}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/other/skills-marketplace-skillpages-acquired-by-buyer-focused-barkcom/ar-AA8Z0QS|title=Skills Marketplace Skillpages Acquired By Buyer-Focused Bark.com|publisher=MSN|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150711100846/http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/other/skills-marketplace-skillpages-acquired-by-buyer-focused-barkcom/ar-AA8Z0QS|archivedate=2015-07-11|deadurl=yes|df=}} 7. ^{{cite web|publisher=Bloomberg|title=SkillPages Profile|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=99552882}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/retailandconsumer/11925221/The-Apprentices-Nick-Hewer-is-Sugar-free-and-going-back-to-the-basics-of-business.html|title=The Apprentice's Nick Hewer is Sugar-free and going back to the basics of business|last=Burn-Callander|first=Rebecca|date=2015-10-11|access-date=2019-04-05|language=en-GB|issn=0307-1235}} 9. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.uncelebrity.com/andrew-michael-net-worth/|title=Andrew Michael’s Net Worth {{!}} How rich is Andrew Michael?|last=admin|date=2015-08-15|website=Un Celebrity|language=en-US|access-date=2019-04-05}} External links
