WILMINGTON, DE, UNITED STATES, October 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- GigRadar, a U.S.-based AI platform that helps digital agencies and freelancers scale on Upwork, has acquired Upsky, a Lviv-founded startup specializing in automating client communication and proposal workflows.

The strategic move aims to strengthen GigRadar’s product ecosystem and deliver faster, smarter, and more efficient growth tools for the global freelance market – where over 18 million professionals compete for projects every day.

A strategic step toward intelligent growth on Upwork
GigRadar’s acquisition of Upsky is not just a business deal – it’s a milestone in building an integrated AI suite designed to simplify how agencies win and manage contracts on Upwork.
Founded by Mykola Breslavskyi and Volodymyr Khodonovych in 2024, Upsky has built an AI agent that automates client responses, personalizes proposals, and integrates seamlessly with Slack, Telegram, and CRMs.
By reducing manual effort and increasing lead-to-contract conversion, the tool empowers agencies to focus on creativity and strategy rather than repetitive bidding tasks – saving users on average 15hours per week and improving response efficiency by 40%.

“Upsky’s automation aligns perfectly with our product vision,” said Vadym Ovcharenko, CEO of GigRadar. “Together, we’re bringing agencies a smarter way to win on Upwork – less manual work, more results.”
