The startup appears to have been very small. Yin Yin Wu and Xuwen Cao, its cofounders, are the same people behind failed Y Combinator-backed on-demand laundry startup Prim.
Double Labs started in 2013 and had offices in Palo Alto, California. The Google Play Store reports that the app had received between 1 million and 5 million downloads.
