Company mission
To elevate the world's sexual wellbeing
Our take
Half of millennial and Gen Z men struggle with psychosexual issues. Mojo exists to sexually enlighten mankind and lead a revolution that normalizes sexual issues and connects men to champion what sex and relationships are really like. The company are doing this with a medication-free approach.
Mojo's app is built on a foundation of science, data, and clinically-proven approaches from psychosexual therapy. They set themselves apart by being created by world-class sexperts, and the audiovisual content marks the next generation of sex education.
When founded, there had been little clear and useful guidance available to men, meaning that Mojo filled a real and important gap in the market. As a result, they have attracted 100,000 users in 115 countries across the world. They are also backed by two of London’s top VC firms and have raised the biggest sex & health tech seed in Europe.

Company values
- Autonomy, with accountability. We value autonomy and are responsible for our work. At Mojo, everyone is trusted to execute and own pieces of work. Operating autonomously within a culture of psychological safety means we’re comfortable stepping up, acting in an entrepreneurial way, and being accountable for our work
- Daringly authentic, even when vulnerable. We value being authentic and are willing to be vulnerable to uphold that. Mojo was born out of a vulnerable conversation, so naturally, we believe in the benefits of being open and authentic with each other. This kind of authenticity is the first building block of our psychologically safe, inclusive, no-bullshit culture
- Seize the opportunity, pay for pace. We value moving at pace and are willing to pay for that The opportunity in front of us is unfathomable, and the way we win the colossal men’s sexual wellbeing space is through the speed of execution. We look for opportunities to save time over money. And we move with a sense of urgency because we know something others don’t. We know our users, we know this space, and we know we are first movers with the opportunity to be to sexual wellbeing, what Uber was to taxis, AirBnB was to hotels, Headspace was to mental wellbeing, and Spotify was to the music industry. Transformative.
- Alignment, over false harmony. We value alignment and are willing to sacrifice harmony to reach commitment. At Mojo, creating alignment and calling out misalignment is everyone's job. This means, everyone listens actively. Not passively, waiting for our turn to speak. We don’t wait to be called on or asked. We all debate candidly, directly, passionately and respectfully We do not make decisions by committee. So, once a decision is reached, we commit whole-heartedly, no matter the side of the discussion we started on
- Long-term value, over short-term gains. We prioritize long-term value and are willing to give up short-term or isolated gains to achieve it. At Mojo, we are building a company to change how society interacts with sexual wellbeing. That means we don’t just make decisions for next month or next quarter. We make them for the next generation. We make decisions that ensure there is a company here long after we are not

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Mojo
- Our Inclusion and Diversity (I&D) journey really excites us. It's not perfect and we have lots of work to do but it's something that we are committed to and looking forward to evolving.
- The current inclusion initiatives we have include, a cultural calendar, with a budget behind it, for anyone who would like to observe days, events, and celebrations. In the same vein, we have a bank holiday swap, by which the team can work on UK bank holidays in exchange for cultural holidays off.
- We believe that building a talented and diverse team is so much more than an expectation here. It is our obligation to our members; to make sure that we create the best company to work at and the most impactful product we can. A broad view and varied ideas are a way to ensure we get the greatest ideas and outcomes.
- Psychosexual issues and mental health do not discriminate, meaning we need to help people from all backgrounds, in all corners of the globe. We are proud to have members in 115 countries and know that an awareness of this beautiful diversity in our member base, is best served, by having a team that mirrors it.

Although we're a small company at a very early stage, inclusion and diversity is already being considered at Mojo. It's not perfect, and everyone acknowledges we have a long way to go, but we've already taken steps to improve recruitment processes, and make both diversity and inclusion a priority

Diversity is a priority

We're growing fast, which means we sometimes have big workloads, but management is always very supportive, and actively looks for ways to help you. Everyone genuinely cares about each other as people, and managers go out of their way to make sure you're happy and enjoying work

Leadership trusts us as the experts in our field, so we get autonomy to define our work/roles, develop our skills, and add value in the way we see fit. Every one of our opinions is highly valued, and there is a culture of open discussion and debate.

Autonomy
Sep 2022
I work at Mojo because I want to be a part of revolutionizing the way we approach sexual wellbeing. I’m so proud to see how much mental health has been destigmatized in my own lifetime, and I want to see the same happen for sexual wellbeing. It’s so inspiring to hear directly from our members how life-changing our product is. And we hear this ALL THE TIME

Our work looks to address a real and underserved issue. One that not many people are usually comfortable talking about. It feels like a very unique problem space to be in, and is full of lots of challenges I wouldn't normally get elsewhere.

Mojo is likely the most open company I've ever worked for. Everyone is super nice and forthcoming, and pretty much everything about the company is shared and discussed among every member of the team on a regular basis

All communication at Mojo is open by default. Leadership meeting agendas and notes are available for anyone to read and private Slack channels aren't really a thing here. One thing that really stands out, is that even the company financials are there for anyone to look through.

We operate in a space that's littered with challenges, which requires us to be really creative in our solutions. Something you'll hear quite often at Mojo is, "That's a great idea! Now let's think of 2 or 3 other ways we could get to the same outcome." The best thing though, is that we tackle it as a team.

When I think about the world I want my children to grow up in, I picture them to have the awareness, resources and support to develop their sexual identities in a healthy way. I believe Mojo can play a big role in creating that future and I'm excited to be part of the journey.

Mojo offers me the flexibility to work from home and the office. It's great to be able to do this as it has allowed me to move to house and spend time at home in Scotland.
