AI company
Upwork is an American freelance marketplace formed in 2015 from the merger of Elance and oDesk, and it connects businesses with independent professionals in software development, design, writing, marketing and increasingly artificial intelligence work. Its revenue comes from taking a percentage of what clients pay freelancers, which means it has spent years balancing take rate against the incentive for established pairs to leave the platform and transact directly. Headquartered in San Francisco and listed on Nasdaq, it has been positioning itself around higher-value professional work rather than competing at the commodity end of the market.

Swift

swift.com
Swift is a Belgian cooperative founded in 1973 and owned by its member banks, and it operates the messaging network through which most cross-border payment instructions travel between financial institutions worldwide. It is important to understand what it is not: Swift moves messages rather than money, and the actual funds settle through correspondent bank accounts, which is why the network became such an effective instrument for sanctions enforcement. Headquartered in La Hulpe near Brussels, it connects more than eleven thousand institutions in over two hundred countries and is under sustained pressure from instant payment schemes and blockchain settlement alternatives.
