Quest Bridge Round
Creating the next million jobs uniquely human, powered by AI.
🧭 Overview
Quest is building the AI-powered horizontal marketplace for on-demand services, connecting people instantly with verified local Heroes to get anything done, from errands and home help to creative gigs and part-time staffing.
