A key development in the last 5 years has been a move towards screen-based kids entertainment like apps and streaming services. However, more recently there have been concerns that excessive screen time for children can be damaging to health and development. So, many consumers are looking for alternative products which will expose children to modernity without the drawbacks of many modern devices. This is the demand which Yoto is setting out to capitalise on.
Yoto's product - a screen-free audio platform - enables children to access features such as audiobooks, podcasts, and soundscapes via physical cards inserted into the device. The Yoto Player has received considerable early praise from consumers and from investors also, who granted Yoto considerable funding.
Perhaps the most difficult challenge for a business operating in the highly competitive children's toys market is keeping its product current. However, Yoto's software is fully customisable, meaning that alongside its library of content, parents can add their own audio files to the device to suit the interests of their children. This imbibes Yoto with a customisability that gives it an edge, especially as children's tastes change with age.

At Yoto I'm treated as an adult, and given the autonomy to get on with what I need to get done at work while also getting done what I need to in my personal life. I've been able to find a balance of working that has helped me achieve what I want to both at work and at home.

Lots of people at Yoto have families - we do make a product for children, and lots of us have kids that use their Yoto every day. I love the fact that I'm allowed to prioritise my family when I need to - I feel like being a parent is celebrated here, rather than something that needs to be kept separate from your work life.

Yoto is growing extremely quickly, which means there's always more good ideas to work on than there is time or resources to do them. You definitely never lack for things to do that would make an impact, the hard part is choosing where to start! The team is growing fast, and right now that means you can really get stuck in with whatever interests you most. I've worked on several different teams and projects, and have really enjoyed the variety of work.

I have been a fan of Yoto since Day 1. After receiving the Yoto Player and Yoto Mini the products not only became a part of my work life, but my family life as well. I have been in brand licensing for the length of my career, but I have never felt such a connection to the product.

Yoto embraces people from all backgrounds and values the unique perspectives we bring. We’ve recently launched our Lightning Talks, where team members can share their interests (whether work-related or personal). It's been a great way to learn more about each other. Also, our DE&I forum provides a space for open conversations and ongoing learning, helping to build a more inclusive culture.

At Yoto, flexibility isn’t just a perk—it’s part of who we are. The company was built around work-life balance and it allows employees to thrive professionally and personally. The company follows a work from home first approach, and employees are required to be in office once a month. Yet, anyone is welcome to go more often if needed/required.

My colleagues at Yoto are extremely smart. We have so many field experts to lean on, being a startup you tend to work on stitching things up quickly while adhering to proper designs and guidelines. I feel like I am really developing fast because of all the new technologies that I'm working with and the people I'm surrounded by.
