Form not saving to MongoDB - node.js

Question

I have been trying to get a form to submit to the database but every time I submit it only saves an id.
Below is my code in my app.js file for the post route the form submits to.
// CREATE add new startup to database
app.post("/startup-submit", function(req, res) {
// Get data from form
var startupname = req.body.startupname;
var url = req.body.url;
var shortdescription = req.body.shortdescription;
var longdescription = req.body.longdescription;
var techstack = req.body.techstack;
var foundeddate = req.body.foundeddate;
var blog = req.body.blog;
var twitter = req.body.twitter;
var facebook = req.body.facebook;
var linkedin = req.body.linkedin;
var email = req.body.email;
var foundername = req.body.foundername;
var foundersocialmedia = req.body.foundersocialmedia;
//Pass data through to page
var newStartup = {
startupname:startupname,
url: url,
shortdescription: shortdescription,
longdescription: longdescription,
techstack: techstack,
foundeddate: foundeddate,
blog: blog,
twitter: twitter,
facebook: facebook,
linkedin: linkedin,
email: email,
foundername: foundername,
foundersocialmedia: foundersocialmedia
};
Startup.create(newStartup, function(err, newlyCreatedStartup){
if(err){
console.log(err);
} else {
// Redirect back to show all page
res.redirect("/startups");
}
console.log(newlyCreatedStartup);
});
});
My model I am using is:
var mongoose = require("mongoose");
var startupSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
about_startup: {
startup_name: String,
url: String,
short_description: String,
long_description: String,
tech_stack: String,
date_founded: Date
},
social_media: {
blog: String,
twitter: String,
facebook: String,
linkedin: String,
email: String,
},
about_founder: {
name: String,
social_media_founder: String
}
});
module.exports = mongoose.model("Startup", startupSchema);
These should line up correctly, or am I off base on this? I am new to node and express so learning has been interesting. As for how I decided on the model and layout of the code, it is mostly from a previous project I did as part of a course. I wrote the above code out but referenced I guess is the best way of saying it to the old code.
I know the variables are all pulling the data because I console.log(variableName) each one to test it out. The model looks right to me but maybe I am missing something.

You should use the same variable name which you used in model. Your code should be like this. This code will perfectly suits you.
var newStartup = { about_startup: {}, social_media: {}, about_founder: {}};
newStartup.about_startup.startup_name = req.body.startupname;
newStartup.about_startup.url = req.body.url;
newStartup.about_startup.short_description = req.body.shortdescription;
newStartup.about_startup.long_description = req.body.longdescription;
newStartup.about_startup.tech_stack = req.body.techstack;
newStartup.about_startup.date_founded = req.body.foundeddate;
newStartup.social_media.blog = req.body.blog;
newStartup.social_media.twitter = req.body.twitter;
newStartup.social_media.facebook = req.body.facebook;
newStartup.social_media.linkedin = req.body.linkedin;
newStartup.social_media.email = req.body.email;
newStartup.about_founder.name = req.body.foundername;
newStartup.about_founder.social_media_founder = req.body.foundersocialmedia;
Startup.create(newStartup, function (err, newlyCreatedStartup) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
// Redirect back to show all page
res.redirect("/startups");
}
console.log(newlyCreatedStartup);
});
