GoGoGrandparent is a digital caregiving platform for older and disabled adults, offering concierge services for rides, meals, meds, and more.
The company adapts on-demand APIs (Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, etc.) into a senior-friendly experience, addressing cognitive, mobility, or vision challenges.
Profitable and YC-backed (S16), GoGoGrandparent has a remote engineering team focused on fast iteration and meaningful impact.
Tech stack includes Node.js, TypeScript, MySQL, Vue.js, and AWS/Docker/Kubernetes.
Hiring for backend-heavy roles with 6+ years of experience, requiring US timezone overlap.
Founders built GoGo for their grandparents, now serving hundreds of thousands of seniors in the US and Canada.
30-40% of new users have smartphones but struggle with ride-hailing apps due to complexity.
GoGo simplifies ride management by handling micro-steps like driver tracking, payments, and pickup coordination.
The company aims to solve broader self-management challenges for seniors, promoting independence without relocation.
Demographic shifts will soon make seniors (65+) outnumber under-18s, with 11M over 75 losing driving ability.

Joining now offers high impact on a growing user base, with a mission-driven, profitable team.
