Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Fiverr is an Israeli multinational online marketplace for freelance services, founded in 2010 by Micha Kaufman and Shai Wininger in Tel Aviv. The platform connects freelancers (called "sellers") with businesses and individuals ("buyers") seeking a wide range of digital services. Originally named after the $5 price tag attached to all tasks, the platform has evolved to support services ranging from a few dollars to thousands.
Fiverr's marketplace spans categories including graphic design, web development, digital marketing, writing and translation, video and animation, music and audio, programming, and AI services. The platform operates globally across approximately 160 countries and supports millions of transactions annually. Fiverr went public on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: FVRR) in June 2019.
The company reported revenue of approximately $298 million in 2021 and has continued to grow, particularly driven by remote work trends and the increasing adoption of freelance talent by enterprises. Fiverr has expanded its offerings with Fiverr Business (enterprise team collaboration), Fiverr Pro (vetted premium freelancers), and AI-powered matching tools. The company employs approximately 800 people, primarily in its Tel Aviv headquarters.
