Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush channelled his inner millennial when he headed over to Thumbtack, a San Francisco-based start-up company for local services in an Uber-driven Toyota Camry, NBC Bay Area reported.
According to the report, Jeb Bush's Thumbtack company visit is part of his fundraising campaigns throughout the area.
He reportedly discussed the "benefits of small business and entrepreneurship" in the headquarters of the Thumbtack company.
Like his support for Thumbtack as a start-up company, Jeb Bush is outspoken on his track recording of spawning small businesses in Florida, the state he formerly governed.
According to the website of Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council, the Republican presidential candidate produced a track record of "81,000 new small businesses, 13,000 fewer bureaucrats, number one in nation for job creation, $19 billion in tax cuts, and eight balanced budgets."
"We made Florida number one in job creation and number one in small business creation," he said according to the website.
Now, he travelled across Southern U.S. to even push forward this initiative.
Thumbtack is a start-up tech company that employs hundreds of workers both in the U.S. and outsources employees from countries such as the Philippines.
The company was launched in 2009 and provided a one-stop platform for both consumers and local service providers.
"Our technology is transforming the way people accomplish any project, anywhere, anytime," the Thumbtack company website said. "Just tell us what you need done. We'll quickly deliver customized quotes so you can compare pricing, read reviews and hire the right professional on the spot."
The Thumbtack company website also said it is able to generate 5.4 million projects a year and $1 billion annual revenues for service providers.
Thumbtack reportedly has 1,000 different types of services, ranging from pet care, house repair, food delivery, plumbing, repainting, make-up, massage therapy and many other services.
