According to a spokesperson for Mojocare who was quoted by the newspaper, “Facing challenging market conditions, we at Mojocare have had to make difficult decisions to improve our unit economics. Our business fundamentals have yet to be successful over the past few months, despite our best efforts.

To determine the best course of action for profitability and sustainability, the startup will resume operating as a small but capable team, according to the spokesperson.

The company’s spokesperson admitted to the media outlet that, despite their best efforts, their fundamentals haven’t been working in recent months.  To make better use of our resources, we have made the decision to rationalize costs. The spokesperson said that in order to determine what will be best for the company moving forward, we need to return to working as a small but powerful team.
