Which Country Owns UpWork?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 10:02 pm

As the global economy continues to become more intertwined, the need for remote work is only increasing. Platforms like UpWork make it easy for businesses to connect with freelancers from all over the world. But which country actually owns UpWork?

UpWork was actually founded in the United States back in 2015. However, since then, it has been acquired by a Japanese company called Recruit Holdings Co. Ltd. The headquarters for UpWork is still located in Mountain View, California.

PRO TIP: There is no one definitive answer to this question. While Upwork is headquartered in the United States, the company has a global presence and its services are used by freelancers and businesses around the world. As such, it is difficult to say which country “owns” Upwork.

While the majority of UpWork’s users are based in the United States, the platform is available in over 180 countries. And as mentioned before, UpWork makes it easy for businesses to connect with freelancers from all over the world. In fact, over 75% of jobs on UpWork are posted by businesses outside of the United States.

So while UpWork may have started in the United States, it is now owned by a Japanese company and is used by businesses and freelancers all over the globe.
