Zaarly to cease operations Friday ‘after 10 years of grinding’ as a top KC startup
Bo Fishback, Zaarly
Leaders at a Prairie Village tech startup announced Monday their decade-long mission to fix a broken piece of the economy would come to a close later this week.
Zaarly — an online marketplace to hire accountable home service providers — is expected to cease operations Friday, according to a message from Bo Fishback, co-founder and CEO of Zaarly.
“We knew [our mission] would be challenging and that we might fail. We knew it might be impossible or that even if it was possible, we might not be the group to pull it off,” said Fishback. “Unfortunately, after 10 years of grinding in pursuit of a better local services economy, we’ve come to the final chapter of Zaarly.”

PresidentOrderReportingConversationSecretaryExecutive-orderInstructionOfficeForest-serviceBill-clintonAlaskaStatehemisphere with big plans to chop away at precious rain forest, climate consequences be damned. donald trump apparently himself have reportedly instructed the agriculture secretary to open alaska's tongass forest up for logging and mining. the forest is the largest intact temperate rain forest in the world. also literally the largest forest in the entire country, and it's been protected from logging and mining since president bill clinton issued an order putting it off limits on the way out the door in 2001. george w. bush tried to reverse that policy but was stymied in court. there is no question trump will likely face a lawsuit as well if and when this actually happens. to talk about what's going on, senior national affairs correspondent with "the washington post" who broke the story and eric jorgenson, managing attorney for the earth justice alaska regional office. julia, let me start with you. what do we know about whether in fact this order has been issued and what it would mean legally were it to be issued.
