FiftyThree’s founders Georg Petschnigg and Andrew Allen and the teams in New York and
Seattle will join WeTransfer to continue to grow and develop WeTransfer’s suite of creative
tools.

This is WeTransfer’s first acquisition of an American company, and marks the second major
step in the organization’s expansion into the United States, which began with the opening of a
Los Angeles office in 2016. With this acquisition, WeTransfer will have offices both on the East
