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.

We all did this! After a long, near-death rare lung disease and illness, life support, 2 months in the hosiptal, and having to sell most of my possessions, I am back on my feet and able to breathe normally and live life to its fullest.  Joining Upwork and now being a "Top-Rated" deisgner has become a major way for me to boost my finances and become financially sound while not having to leave the comfort of my home. Upwork is life-altering, and trust me I can attest to this. I'm proud to be part of this community. If we keep our work ethic and standards high, growth will only be an opportunity for us to reach greater heights.

Hi Valeria, How do we know if we were included in the 228 profiessionals ad? I was invited to be part of the process, shortly after I got my Top Rated stautus, but how do we know if we were selected for this Times square announcement? Thanks! 🙂

Hi Paul.

 

Thanks for reaching out and for providing us with permission to use your image. You can find details on the ad campaign currently running in Times Square here. We’ll email freelancers that were featured a link to find themselves in a video by October 5, 2018. We received an overwhelming amount of responses and were not able to include a majority of the freelancers that granted permission due to limited space. But we'll do our best to feature you in future campaigns.
