Upwork

At the heart of Upwork is a mission to create economic opportunities so people have better lives. This has propelled us to become the world's work marketplace, a space where businesses of all sizes and independent talent from across the globe connect daily to achieve incredible things. Our journey began over two decades ago, pioneering a better way of working by helping businesses find more flexibility and connecting talent with more opportunities. We understand that the relationships forged on our platform are what truly make it work. We've witnessed the passion and commitment users pour into their work here, whether it's a quick presentation or a multi-year development project. Both talent and clients on Upwork care about delivering high-quality work because they love what they do.

Our work marketplace is designed to align the goals of our clients with the goals of talent, ensuring that outcomes are better and everyone grows together. We provide tools to develop skills, evolve businesses, and gain the control and freedom needed for success. For clients, Upwork is a workforce of independent talent to build faster and transform their businesses. For independent talent, it's a place to realize potential and become a valuable part of someone's team. We strive to make work more rewarding by helping to make connections that turn visions into reality, building a Virtual Talent Bench of trusted individuals. This impact is both economic and personal, affecting the everyday and the long run. When the right people connect, work shifts from getting by to working strategically, and that's when real opportunity emerges. Our values – putting our community first, inspiring a boundless future of work, building amazing teams, and having a bias towards action – guide every decision we make. We believe that if our customers don't succeed, we don't succeed.
