Fiverr acquires Stoke Talent for $95M, adding freelance management tools for employers to its platform – TechCrunch

Quick summary:

1. The idea here is to build tools that both tie in those employers more tightly into Fiverr's freelance marketplace — Stoke will remain independently operated, but the products also will be integrated, so that freelancers hired via Fiverr can be onboarded and paid through Stoke — and also tie Fiverr more deeply into how those companies work with freelancers overall, even if they are not sourced via Fiverr itself.

2. If LinkedIn is finding some traction in that area, it's essential for Fiverr to offer professional development tools, too, to remain a compelling platform for candidates to use
