Meet the Team

The people behind MOHARA's clarity-first approach.

Our story

MOHARA started in 2011 with a simple goal: help people turn their ideas into real products.

Back then, we were a small team of designers and engineers who loved solving problems. We worked closely with founders who knew why their idea mattered, and we helped figure out how to bring it to life.

As we grew, we kept that spirit. We didn't chase hype or overcomplicate things. We focused on building quickly, clearly, and with care.

Over the years, we've partnered with startups, scale-ups, SMEs, and innovation teams across industries. We've built hundreds of products. And through our venture arm, MOHARA Ventures, we've co-founded and invested in more than 40 startups around the world.

Today, we're a global team, based in London, Cape Town, Portland, Guadalajara, and Bangkok, building products that matter. We use AI in our workflows, but we never lose sight of the people behind the products.

We still believe what we did at the start: if you've got the why, we'll help with the how and deliver the what.

Our values

The principles that guide how we work and what we prioritize.

Build with Excellence

We take pride in strong execution. We act as trusted advisors β€” not just service providers β€” and bring product thinking into everything we do.

Grow with Purpose

We focus on long-term impact, continuously evolving our tools, frameworks, and skills to support meaningful growth for our clients and team.

Operate with Intention

We create clear plans, manage risk early, and deliver reliably. Strong processes and transparent communication power how we work.

Stay Bold, Stay Human

We challenge assumptions, ask questions, and keep learning. And we never forget the human on the other side of the screen.

Lead with Focus

We prioritise what matters, make smart decisions, and structure every engagement for focus and momentum.

Global Team, Shared Mindset

We span time zones and cultures β€” but our method and values keep us aligned. Every MOHARA project runs with shared clarity and high standards.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about working with MOHARA.

What types of projects does MOHARA typically work on?

We build digital products for ambitious teams across a range of industries, with deep experience in regulated industries. Our work includes everything from new product development and AI-powered tools to modernizing legacy systems and building internal platforms.

How long does a typical project take?

It depends on the scope and goals. Our Trust Layer takes 1–2 weeks, Foundation Sprints run 2–4 weeks, and our Build Cycles typically last 2 weeks and are stackable. From day one, we provide clear timelines and milestones, so you know exactly what to expect.

What's your pricing model?

We offer flexible pricing based on your needs, this includes fixed-price projects, sprint-based models, and monthly retainers. We're upfront about costs and provide detailed estimates before any commitment.

Do you work with startups or just enterprises?

Both. We've co-built dozens of startups, offering lean, fast-moving approaches that focus on traction and product-market fit. For enterprises, we bring the same agility, backed by robust processes, scalable tech, and a focus on long-term value.

How do you integrate AI into products?

We take a pragmatic, results-driven approach to AI. That means identifying real use cases, selecting the right models and tools, and implementing solutions that deliver tangible value. Just AI that has real utility and that works.

What happens after the product is built?

We offer ongoing support through our Stride Plan, a flexible engagement designed to help you maintain, optimize, and scale your product. Many clients continue working with us long-term as their needs grow. Our average relationship is over 3.4 years.
