V-MIL Audit: Fiverr

Direct Defence Contracting & Procurement

Fiverr does not hold direct contracts with the Israel Ministry of Defence, Israel Defence Forces, Israel Prison Service, or Israel Border Police 12. Searches of SEC filings, IMOD vendor databases, and SIBAT listings returned no evidence of Fiverr serving as a prime contractor or subcontractor to Israeli defence entities 12. Fiverr does not appear in SIBAT listings, international defence exhibition catalogues such as DSEI, Eurosatory, or ISDEF, or Israeli procurement registries 2. No corporate press releases, government announcements, or trade publications describe formal defence cooperation agreements between Fiverr and any Israeli or foreign defence entity 1. No FMS notification naming Fiverr as prime contractor has been identified 1.

Dual-Use Products & Tactical Variants

Fiverr’s business model is a digital services marketplace supplemented by Fiverr Enterprise, a workforce management SaaS product 3. The company does not manufacture, distribute, or market ruggedised, mil-spec, tactical, or defence-grade product variants of any kind 31. Fiverr’s platform outputs consist of freelancer-buyer service matches and enterprise workforce management data, which do not produce targeting decisions or weapons effects 4. This does not meet the V-MIL software or AI inclusion threshold for systems designed or intended to contribute to kinetic military effects 4. Fiverr is not an exporter of controlled physical goods and does not appear in export licence databases 1. Digital services fall outside traditional dual-use export control frameworks 1.
