Fiverr was founded by Shai Wininger and Micha Kaufman on February 1, 2010, and is headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel. Wininger came up with the concept of a marketplacethat  would provide a two sided platform for people to buy and sell a variety of digital services typically offered by freelance contractors 
 (e.g. freelancers). Services offered on the site include writing, translation, graphic design, video editing and programming. Fiverr’s services start at $5, which is what the company’s name is based on and can go up to thousands of dollars with Gig Extras. Each service offered is called a "Gig".

The website was launched in early 2010 and by 2012 was hosting over 1.3 million Gigs. The website transaction volume has grown 600% since 2011. Additionally, Fiverr.com has been ranked among the top 100 most popular sites in the U.S. and top 200 in the world since the beginning of 2013.
On June 1, 2010, Fiverr received a seedinvestment of US$1 million from Cubit Investments.
On May 3, 2012, Fiverr secured US$15 million in funding from AccelPartners and Bessemer Venture Partners, bringing the company's total funding to US$20 million.
