Upwork has transitioned from a private to public company

We are excited to share the news that today Upwork became a public company.  We are so grateful and appreciative of the freelancers and clients who sailed this journey with us and believe in Upwork and our role in the future of work. You are helping us fulfill our vision of a world where people can work without limits.

 

As an Upwork customer you may be wondering how this news may change the Upwork platform. The move from a private company to a public one will not change how Upwork operates. Your experience stays the same and we are not considering any pricing or fee changes at this time.  We’re committed to our mission of creating more economic opportunities so people have better lives. This public offering will allow us to continue to invest in our business and our mission.

 

We are extremely proud of this moment, and we hope you share this pride alongside us. At Nasdaq today, we brought you with us as we celebrate, knowing our users are the core of our business. This would not have been possible without all of you. We are only successful if you are. This is truly a joint effort.

Awesome!!! Who are the 228 freelancers? Can we maybe get a list, I know all of us Top Rated freelancers were approached to be features in the ad, but of course not everyone made the cut.

Thanks for your question, Yaqub. While nothing will change for freelancers and clients when it comes to using Upwork, the awareness that comes with going public will hopefully help more people know about Upwork to generate more opportunities. For freelancers, this increased visibility should help attract more clients.  For clients, this should help attract more top talent.
