Summary

Stoovo, an app that helps gig workers maximize their income by providing intelligence about how and when to use platforms such as Uber and DoorDash, uses MongoDB as its database platform. The company was founded by two former Google employees who met while attending college in New York, and has since raised a $2.4 million seed round from several investors. Stoovo aims to give gig workers financial stability through income boosting and income smoothing, and provides users with cash flow if needed. The app uses Node.js and MongoDB for its application side, and Python scripts on top of that, and has built its tech stack in a way that enables it to work with many different partners and geospatial data providers. Stoovo's founders believe that the gig economy will continue to grow and evolve, and that their app will play a key role in providing financial stability and context for workers in this sector.
