their pay.

* Both the [culture](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/09/business/uber-eats-door-dash-delivery-tips.html?searchResultPosition=2) and the technology of gig work are becoming increasingly entrenched, and [spreading to other sectors.](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/13/magazine/gig-jobs-apps.html)
* Venture capital is fueling a [growing ecosystem of VC-backed apps and services](https://home.coworker.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Little-Tech-Is-Coming-for-Workers.pdf) designed to make the gig work marketplace more efficient for employers without fundamentally changing the basic premise of externalizing all possible costs and risks to workers.
People who do gig work need solutions that both deliver tangible benefits and
build the collective agency needed to make long term change.
Driver’s Seat Cooperative’s mobile app and data platform:
* Helps workers maximize their pay while working across multiple gig apps.
* Builds a community of gig workers who are invested in each other’s success.
* Creates a new lever of power by helping workers bring collective data into workforce and transportation policymaking.
