Is UpWork an Israeli Company?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 11:00 am

UpWork is a freelancing platform that was founded in 2015. It is headquartered in Redwood City, California, and has offices in San Francisco, California, and Portland, Oregon. UpWork is a subsidiary of Elance-oDesk, which was itself a merger of two companies: oDesk and Elance.

PRO TIP: There is no reliable evidence to support the claim that Upwork is an Israeli company. This claim is most likely false and should not be relied upon.

UpWork has been criticized for being an “Israeli company” because it is based in the United States but its CEO is Russian-born Israeli national Stephane Kasriel. However, this criticism is unfounded as UpWork is a American company through and through. It is incorporated in Delaware, and its CEO has been living in the United States for over 20 years.
