The story
Founded in 2019 to solve cash flow problems for gig and independent workers, Stoovo evolved from a job-aggregation app (Income Navigator) into a fuller embedded fintech platform. The company layered a debit card with same-day payout capability on top of its income-aggregation product, positioning itself as a financial services hub for the gig economy. Stoovo was subsequently acquired (domain now inactive at stoovo.com).
