About ShekelUp
Building professional connections within the Israeli community
Our Mission
ShekelUp is Israel's marketplace for jobs, freelance work, and volunteering — built for the entire Israeli public. We connect professionals with businesses, nonprofits, schools, community centers, municipalities, and organizations across the country.
Our platform serves as work infrastructure, not a social network. Every interaction is professional, every transaction is secure, and every connection is meaningful.
Whether you are a designer, developer, writer, educator, tradesperson, or volunteer, ShekelUp provides a trusted environment to offer your skills, find work, hire talent, or give back to your community.
Our Values

Trust & Accountability
Our review system, verification badges, and professional community ensure that every interaction is trustworthy and accountable.
Community Focused
Built by and for the Israeli community, we understand the unique needs of organizations and community members worldwide.
Fair & Transparent
Clear pricing, honest reviews, and human mediation for disputes. No dark patterns, no hidden fees, just straightforward business.
Our Story
ShekelUp was born from a simple observation: organizations around the world need professional services - websites, graphics, videos, marketing, and more - but finding trusted professionals within the community was challenging.
At the same time, talented freelancers within the Israeli community wanted to serve these organizations but had no dedicated platform to connect with them.
ShekelUp bridges this gap, creating a marketplace where quality work meets community values.
