Offering a service that prioritizes the highest-paying gigs in the gig economy, Stoovo raises funding
Semih Korkmaz and Hantz Févry launched Stoovo in 2019 as a way to help gig workers make the best use of their time.
Févry, who immigrated to the U.S. from Haiti, knew firsthand the struggles that come with part-time work from his days as a student at Stonybrook University. While there bouncing from job to job, Févry would feel the sting associated with hidden fees, unkept promises and variability of part-time labor.
The time at Stonybrook was also when Févry got his first taste of entrepreneurship. In 2010 and 2011, Févry said the dean of the University’s business school let the budding business owner cut back on his hours so he could start iTrade International, an import-export business selling earthquake detection equipment in Haiti.
