BENEFITS

  • Currently we are mainly remote so this can be a fully remote role, although with the founder based in Brighton hybrid would be an advantage.
  • Opportunity to be part of a truly exciting business at its infancy and be able to effect real change

OUR WHY

Our purpose is to help people have happy, rewarding and meaningful lives and Our vision is to create a world where people feel safe to be themselves, inspired to be all they want to be, and supported to grow through the good times and the bad. We do this through our mission of helping people put the advice of the world’s leading self development authors into action.

We measure our success in “helps”, and our goal is to have helped people at least 10,000,000 times in the next 3 years.

OUR PRODUCT

Watch a summary here :

If you’d like to try the MVP products we created as individual standalone apps on books, you can find them on the app store or in android. They include -

  • Grief Works, based on Julia Samuel’s book, Grief Works - Awarded Apple App of the Day
  • Anxiety Solution based on Chloe Brotheridges’ Anxiety Solution
  • The Self-Compassion App App, based on Paul Gilbert’s the Compassionate Mind

We all want to improve, whether you want to become a better leader, better sleeper, or reduce your anxiety. And where do you usually turn to? Books, audiobooks, or the internet.

But if you're honest, have the self-development books or videos you've consumed led to the changes you'd hoped for?

The self-development market fails to deliver, not because the advice isn't good, but because information isn't enough, if it was, we'd all be multi-millionaires with perfect relationships and six-pack abs Change requires practice. We need help putting advice into action. So that's what we do. We help you put advice into action in your life.

It's like a more interactive version of Masterclass. We take proven content, with proven demand and deliver it in a more effective way.

We’re working with the world’s leading self development authors to help transform their advice into action. Authors signed to our platform already include:

  • Adam Grant - 5m followers Linked In, 4 Ted Talks, 5 NYT Best Selling Books
  • Daniel Pink - 5 NYT Best Selling Books, over 30m Ted Talk Views.
  • Daniel Goleman - NYT best selling author and founder of Emotional Intelligence.
  • And many others.

We originally worked in helping measure and improve wellbeing in organisations, before pivoting to this proposition. Since the pivot we have already launched 3 individual apps based on self development books to test the proposition. All have been featured by Apple and one received Apple’s coveted App of the Day Award.

All our initial apps have shown efficacy using clinical research and the reviews have been beyond our wildest expectations. Knowing we are helping people is what gets us out of bed and the reviews are our rocket fuel. Here’s a few below to give you an example of the type of impact your work will be having on people’s lives.

The next step is to launch the self-development platform with multiple courses and tools on from our popular authors. The MVP of the platform has been developed and we are now in the product testing phase prior to launch.

WHY NOW?

The mental health and self-development market is growing rapidly. People are more aware than ever that mental health and self-development is central to living a happy life. This has also been demonstrated by market demand with tech companies such as Headspace, Calm and Masterclass all reaching $1bn plus valuations, serving millions of users globally. Through extensive research we have identified a hole in the market that has significant demand from self-development enthusiasts. There has never been a better time to grow a self-development startup.

WHO WE ARE

We are a team of individuals that are passionate about helping people live happy, meaningful and rewarding lives. We are technologists, psychologists, marketeers and our founder previously helped set up Headspace (he was the first employee). Our advisors include wonderful individuals from Masterclass, Audible, Headspace and Mindvalley. We are now looking to grow our team with talented, mission-driven people like you
