In 2015, Elance-oDesk was rebranded as Upwork.[3] It is based in Mountain View and San Francisco, California. The full name is Upwork Global Inc. Upwork has twelve million registered freelancers and five million registered clients.[4][5] Three million jobs are posted annually, worth a total of $1 billion USD, making it the largest freelancer marketplace in the world.[6][2][7] HistoryElance was founded in 1999 by Beerud Sheth, Srini Anumolu and Sanjay Noronha.[8] oDesk was founded in 2003[9] by Odysseas Tsatalos and Stratis Karamanlakis.[10] Upwork was formed 18 months after Elance and oDesk announced their merger on December 18, 2013 to create Elance-oDesk.[11] With the launch of Upwork, the oDesk platform was upgraded and rebranded and the company announced that the Elance platform would be phased out within a couple of years, resulting in a single freelance marketplace.[12]The company was listed on the Inc. 5000 list from 2009-2014.[13] In early September 2015, the service experienced an outage which led to an apology being issued by CEO Stephane Kasriel.[14] This led to the introduction of an Upwork Status page to offer freelancers and clients greater transparency.{{Citation needed|date=July 2017}} {{As of|2017|03}}, it reported 14 million users and 10.2 regular user in 180 countries with $1B in annual freelancer billings.[15][16] From its foundation in 1999, the company has raised a total of $168 million through 10 private equity funding rounds.[17]The company filed for an initial public offering on October 3, 2018.[18][13] OperationUpwork allows clients to interview, hire and work with freelancers and agencies through the company's platform. The platform now includes a real-time chat platform aimed at reducing the time to find and hire freelancers.[3] The platform offers a time sheet application that tracks time and takes screenshots while the freelancer is working.[19] Geoblocking: U.S. only and UK only jobsIn April 2017 Upwork started a U.S. only job filter for freelancers in the United States and announced this in the Upwork freelancer community.[20] In September 2018 an UK only filter was established.[21] In October 2018 Upwork's CEO Stephane Kasriel said in an interview with CNBC that Upwork had taken steps to help U.S.-based freelancers protect against being undercut by their global counterparts, “Last year, we launched a U.S.-only website, where U.S. freelancers are only competing against other U.S.-based freelancers. And that means they can have rates that are compatible with what they would expect to get in the U.S.”[22] References1. ^{{cite web|url= https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/upwork.com | publisher= Alexa Internet |title=Upwork.com Traffic, Demographics and Competitors - Alexa |accessdate= 2019-03-19 }} 2. ^1 {{cite news|title=Elance-oDesk Becomes 'Upwork' In Push To Build $10B In Freelancer Revenues|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/elainepofeldt/2015/05/05/elance-odesk-becomes-upwork-today-odesk-brand-gets-phased-out/|accessdate=5 May 2015|work=Forbes|date=5 May 2015}} 3. ^1 {{cite web | last=Lunden | first=Ingrid | title=Elance-oDesk Rebrands As Upwork, Debuts Slack-Like Chat Platform | website=TechCrunch | date=May 5, 2015 | url=https://techcrunch.com/2015/05/05/elance-odesk-rebrands-as-upwork-debuts-slack-like-chat-platform/ | accessdate=May 17, 2016}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.techlist.pk/pakistan-upwork-social-impact-program/|title=Two Pakistani organizations selected for Upwork Social Impact Program|website=www.techlist.pk|access-date=2017-07-28}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.networksasia.net/article/whats-workforce-marketplace-how-work-will-get-done-future.1500606720|title=What's a workforce marketplace?
