Very interesting article about workers organizing 'independently' and apps that help them

 It's an article published in Vice by Lauren Kaori Gurley, titled "A new app is taking labor unions out of organizing". 

Mentioned in the article: Unit ... with a team of 3 people (for now or maybe there also 'contractors"?) Lauren writes  they "launched in December 2020 with $1.4 million in funding from various venture capital firm". It would be interesting to know a bit more about hose investors and where the money is going: it's a lot of money for such a small team (at this point).

Frank, based in Chicago, raised $2 million. 5 people (3 in technical jobs and no detail bio available)
