A Letter to Everyone Who Believed in Us

Bubty has been acquired by Upwork’s new subsidiary for enterprise businesses
We’re beyond proud to share that Bubty has been acquired by Upwork’s enterprise subsidiary. As founders we are staying on, and together, we are stepping into the most meaningful chapter of our journey so far, with a goal far bigger.
It’s hard to put into words what the past few years have meant.
Together, with our incredible team, clients, partners, and supporters, we’ve built a company that dared to rethink how the world hires. From the start, Bubty wasn’t just an idea. It was a deep intrinsic belief. That work can be more human. That hiring contingent talent shouldn’t be complicated. That technology can empower people, both clients and contractors, to connect, collaborate, and grow with clarity, trust, and joy.
We were never just building software. We were building the engine behind the future of contingent work.
To our clients, users, fans, and friends: Thank you for giving us your trust before we had it all figured out. For growing with us. For pushing us to get better. You made this journey worth every second. And we’re utterly grateful for working with you.
To our team: Thank you for always going all-in. For building, shipping, thinking, rethinking, caring, and carrying us through. You are the heart of this company, one full of grit, kindness, and ambition. You've made this real. You gave your time, your talent, your late nights, and your belief. Nothing Bubty has achieved would exist without you.
So now what?
Well, we’re just getting started.
The scale of our dream, mission and vision, has just multiplied. Together, we’re building the most complete solution the contingent workforce has yet to see, but desperately needs.
With the same values as we’ve always had.
Believing that work is part of life. That growth comes from discomfort. That meaning is found in building something with heart. That people matter more than process. And that if you stay focused on what truly matters, everything else follows. To be bold. To lead. To create excitement.
This is more than an acquisition. It’s a shared vision, built on trust, care, and a relentless drive to make hiring better for everyone.
Coming soon: We’re about to change the industry forever. Stay tuned and sign up below to be the first to know.
We’re proud. We’re humbled. We’re excited.
With warmth and appreciation,
