If you're passionate astir improving the lives of older adults and group pinch disabilities, we would emotion for you to apply!
We built GoGo for our ain grandparents and were amazed to spot it turn to touch the lives of hundreds of thousands of seniors crossed the United States and Canada. What shocked america past and it still does now, is that betwixt 30 - 40% of our caller signups person smartphones. We didn’t understand why. When we called and asked a few, they told america that Uber and Lyft had 'stopped working' for them.
After puzzling complete that for months, we realized what the problem was.
Managing proscription - connected Lyft, Uber, cab companies, etc is not easy. It’s a ‘self-serve’ experience. The thrust requester has to beryllium alert of things for illustration the driver cancelling, getting lost, the driver arriving, the driver not-quite-being-lost-just-down-the-street-a-couple-houses.
Then adhd the complexities of smartphones: the personification has to beryllium connected apical of updating their ain in installments paper - making judge the pickup pin is successful the correct spot - typing successful some wherever they are and wherever they’re going. All successful all, location are astir a twelve online and offline "micro steps" thrust requesters person to return to get a ride. And deity thief anyone who needs to retrieve their Apple iCloud password to update an app.
We didn't cognize this erstwhile we started, but it turns retired that ordering and managing a thrust gets much difficult the older you get, almost successful the aforesaid measurement that driving a car gets much difficult the older you get.
What gets america excited now (and what we’re hiring for) is that technically this ‘self-management problem’ doesn’t conscionable extremity astatine rides. There are tons of things that get harder to do arsenic you age. People person known this for a agelong clip and that’s inspired a batch of the solutions that older adults presently have.
Based a batch connected the experiences we’ve had truthful far, we judge that by becoming the ‘management layer’ for the things that older adults struggle pinch arsenic they property we person a amended chance to connection older citizens independency without having to inquire them to move retired of their homes.
Within the adjacent 10 years the number of group complete the property of 65 will beryllium larger than the number of group nether 18 for the first clip successful history. 11,000,000 group complete the property of 75 will extremity driving owed to property related cognitive aliases beingness decline. When they extremity driving, they’ll beryllium forced to trust connected friends and family, unrecorded successful a community, aliases person caregivers. GoGo is moving to make judge that losing your younker doesn’t mean losing your independence.

Anyone joining GoGo astatine this shape of the institution will person a immense and life changing level of effect connected a size-able and increasing personification base. We want group to person rich | and meaningful lives astatine immoderate age. We’re bringing group state and hope, 1 life astatine a time.
