Fiverr Launches a Freelancer Equity Program to Give Direct Stake in the Business
NEW YORK, Feb. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fiverr International Ltd. (NYSE:FVRR) launches a new Freelancer Equity Program that will grant shares to U.S. based top performing, eligible freelancers on the platform.
Coming at a time when freelancers are expected to represent half the U.S. workforce by 2027, the Freelancer Equity Program offers an opportunity to add supplementary financial value alongside individual earnings.
"Freelancers are the backbone of today's economy and the heart of Fiverr's success," said Micha Kaufman, Founder & CEO of Fiverr. "With this initiative, they're not just shaping the future of work—we're actually giving them a piece of it, making Fiverr not just a platform for work, but a place where equity can also be earned."
The program will reward U.S. based top performing, eligible freelancers on the platform with up to $10,000 in Fiverr shares. Eligible freelancers will be notified in the coming days about their eligibility to participate in the program, to receive equity grants over the course of four years based on annual eligibility requirements. The program is structured to encourage continued growth and excellence for those top freelancers, while at the same time serving as an aspiration for up and coming freelancers on the platform.
"This is something we've long wanted to offer, and after careful development and extensive work, we've created a program around how we can build success together with our talent," added Kaufman. "This initiative demonstrates our commitment to innovation not just in technology, but in how we value and invest in our talent community."
