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.

It was fair to distribute some shares between top-rated freelancers as they are the reason why this platform has success, we have paid so many fees.

 

It was an amazing marketing tool for you guys and a great way of showing that you actually care about users not just about money.


 ????????? Shares were distributed between top-rated freelancers ?????? 


I think this is a reference not to shares of stock, but the "Pick me! pick me!" and "Why didn't you pick me?" subtopic.

Not true in any event. Nothing was "distributed." Marketing picked the pictures/profiles that fit their marketing plan.
