About Upwork

Upwork, originally known as Elance-oDesk, was first established in the late 90s, around 1999. However, the name ‘Upwork’ itself was introduced more recently in the year 2015 after a rebranding phase.

Key Dates in Upwork’s History

  • In 1999, the journey began with the founding of Elance and oDesk.
  • In 2003, oDesk was formally launched.
  • In 2013, Elance and oDesk announced a merger, but continued to operate as separate platforms.
  • Finally, in 2015, both platforms were relaunched under a single banner—Upwork.

So, depending on how you look at it, you could say that Upwork is approximately 6 years old in its current form. However, the platform’s roots stretch back over two decades.
