August 12, 2014 | Fiverr, the world’s largest marketplace for freelancers, announced that it raised $30 million in Series C funding from Bessemer Venture Partners, Accel Partners, Qumra Capital and other private investors. Although Fiverr launched in 2010 as a platform for buying and selling services for $5, the platform has quickly become the world’s largest service marketplace, listing over 3 million jobs in over 100 categories in 196 countries. Fiverr has a team of 130 employees in Tel Aviv, New York and Miami and hopes to use the funds to shift the company’s focus to a new workplace where freelancers and business owners can connect on a global level. Fiverr was founded in 2009 by Hari Arjun and Shai Wininger.
