About us · Basel, Switzerland

Every big thing starts small.

Werkara is a young startup from Basel with a simple ambition: to make everyday life easier. We connect people who need a hand with independent local taskers and small businesses — so that finding help takes minutes, not days.

We can visit other planets — yet finding someone for a simple task still takes too much time.

That's the imbalance Werkara exists to fix.

How it started

With a stain on the floor. One of us made it — and then spent an entire day trying to find someone who could fix it. Calls that went nowhere, forms that nobody answered, recommendations of friends of friends. A whole day, for one small task.

Somewhere between the third phone call and the fifth website, the thought landed: it should not be like this. Finding honest, skilled help for everyday life should be as easy as ordering a taxi. That evening, Werkara started.

Learning every day

We have worked inside large companies — in FMCG, tourism and pharma, in tech firms and international teams. We know how good processes feel, and how much time slow ones waste. We brought that experience to Werkara. What we didn’t bring is the illusion that we know everything.

Every day we learn something new: from a client who explains what they really needed, from a tasker who shows us a simpler way, from a mistake we won’t make twice. We are a small team, and we will not always be perfect. But we read every message, we fix what’s broken quickly, and we do our best — every single day.

Who we are & what we stand for

An experienced team

People at Werkara bring many years of experience in IT, marketing and AI from big international companies. Now we're bringing that expertise into day-by-day life.

Our mission

To make inconvenient infrastructure duties simple and fast — and to support local businesses and independent taskers with easier access to clients.

Transparent, always

We put service and integrity on top. What we do, why we do it and what it costs is always open — no small print, no surprises.

A fair, clear fee

Werkara is free for clients. Taskers pay nothing until 31 October 2026, then 9 % of the task amount — always shown before they accept a task.

Open to your support

We are open to any support from anyone — feedback, ideas, partnerships, a kind word. Write to us at support@werkara.ch.

Proudly Swiss AI

We use Apertus, the local Swiss AI, as part of the project — and we're very proud to build with technology made in Switzerland.
