Until I came to visit the comments, I was convinced this could be a hoax/joke site.

"Wish you could spawn a human thread to help you? If you have a task, small enough to delegate to someone, then this is it!" (Spawning humans!)

"Are you currently overworked, exhausted and have too much on your plate?" (Don't most people have too much on their plate?)

The site and its copy are vague and universal, which makes it funny, especially the 'Submit Problem' screen.

Only when I looked at the About Us page did I start to think this could be real.

However you also say "We find sites like stackoverflow very useful, but what if there was a middle term between them and small consultancy firms?"

You are basically trying to become a small consultancy firm it seems. Unless you let people sign-up and handle tasks themselves, like a crowdspring/99designs meets mechanical turk for programming.
