History and Achievements

Fiverr was the brainchild of Shai Wininger and Micha Kaufman and was developed in the year 2009. Wininger started working on an innovative idea of taking the marketplace online when he envisioned that in the coming time, the internet will be a necessity to more than 40% of world’s population. He thought to develop an online services portal that would work as a two way platform for customers and online service providers, who are typically freelancers.

Hence today we have Fiverr – world’s largest online marketplace that has something for everyone. It is now no less than a boon for customers as well as for talented freelancers.
