UPchieve

UPchieve is an edtech nonprofit that provides free, 24/7 online tutoring and college counseling to low-income high school students in the U.S. Using our app, students can request and get paired with a live, volunteer tutor in under 5 minutes. Our mission is to democratize access to academic support so that all students, regardless of income, have an equal opportunity to finish high school, attend college, and achieve upward mobility. So far, we’ve matched 100K+ on-demand tutoring requests from 30K+ students across all 50 states. Our work has also been recognized by Forbes and TIME, and our funders include both Y Combinator and the Gates Foundation. 

Our tech stack:

• Vue
• Websockets
• Node.js and TypeScript
• MongoDB
• Azure Cloud and Kubernetes

Our most fun technical challenge we're solving is how to efficiently manage the "marketplace" of students and volunteer coaches and how to most efficiently pair them.
