How it Meets Our Values:
- Diverse & Inclusive: Maude’s mission challenges the sexual stereotype and misinformation through their commitment to educating youths and the public on sex. They do this through their partnerships with SEICUS, Advocates for Youth, and Peer Health Exchange.
- Women-Owned: Maude is founded by Éva Goicochea

Behind the Brand: Éva Goicochea started her career as a healthcare legislative aide and worked amongst other forward-thinking companies (including Everlane). After a decade spent in the backend of healthcare, combined with her own experience as a consumer, one thing became clear to Éva: the sexual wellness industry was outdated, confusing, and not inclusive. Enter Maude, a company built to modernize sex.
