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.

Hi!

 

I have received an email from Upwork CEO "upwork@e.upwork.com",

 

Is that mean I will be inside the video?

 

Best Regards,

Ahmed

Hi Ahmed Moheb,

 

Please, refer to the content of the email. Freelancers that were featured in the ad campaign will receive an email link to find themselves in a video by October 5, 2018.

Hearty congratulatios Upwork  for this great move !!!!

 

Very happy to be part of Upwork community since 2014 till today. I have been deeply engaged with multiple clients and projects which helps me to create a very busy and successful freelance portfolio with Top Rated Freelancer badge. 

 

I am proud to say my freelance income had gone way beyond my primary job now. I will be very happy to be part of ad campaign in Times Square NewYork for which I had responded to share my pic in ad campaigns long back. Awaiting the link to be shared 🙂

Was there an email I missed about users being able to purchase for the IPO? I'm disappointed this wasn't communicated better so that your own users could have invested in a company we obviously believe in.
