For nonprofits, schools, small businesses, and homes
We fix the systems behind the work.
We help mission-driven teams and families rebuild the systems their work depends on, from fundraising and admin to team rhythms, learning, and care.

The builder and the scholar.
How we work
Develop the system. Build the system.
Two modes that always go together. We develop the leaders and the practices, and we build the actual tool that streamlines the work. Then we set it up to last, so it keeps running after we leave.
Two modes, always together
01Develop the people, build the tool
- 1
Develop the system
We develop the leaders and the practices through professional development, coaching, and consulting.

Build the system
We build the tool that streamlines the work: the dashboards, platforms, and backend.

Built to last
02So it runs after we leave
- 1
Diagnose
We find where good people are carrying what a system should hold.
- 2
Design
We design the fix on paper first, the practice and the tool together.
- 3
Build
We build the system that streamlines the work.
- 4
Train
We develop the people until they can run it without us.
- 5
Stabilize
We stay until it holds on its own, then hand it back.
The thesis
It's usually not the heart. It's the system.
When care has no infrastructure, good people spend their best energy compensating for what a system should hold.
What we do
The systems behind the work.
SOBO helps small businesses and nonprofits do more with less, and families and schools expand their impact. Every area is delivered through both modes, develop and build, and set up to last.
If people are carrying what the system should hold, we help rebuild the system.
Nonprofit leadership
We develop the leaders and build the systems so the mission does not rest on one person holding it all in their head.

We build the backend and develop the practice, so a lean team runs like a larger one and keeps running after we leave.

We develop the leaders and the culture, and build the systems that let the practice hold after we leave.

Every area gets a tool built to fit it, developed alongside the people, so the system keeps running without us in the room.

Proven inAmbition AngelsThe why
Why the systems matter.
Every system we build points at one thing: a young person with room to grow. A nonprofit that does more with less reaches more kids. A school that holds its culture frees a teacher to teach. A home that runs with rhythm gives a child something steady to grow inside. We work on the systems because the systems are what hold the people, and the people are how young people thrive.
Our work
The proof is the work.
We develop the people and build the tool, and we point to what we have actually shipped. Each one is set up to last.

Read the case studyWho we are
We're two builders who run our own for-profit and nonprofit.
Remi runs Ambition Angels, a youth nonprofit, and builds the systems and platforms institutions operate on. Dr. Kendra Sobomehin is a teacher and scholar of how people learn and change, with a PhD in education from Stanford. One carries the leadership and the backend. One carries the scholarship and the practice. It is the same two modes we bring to the work: develop the people, build the system.
The builder and the scholar, married, at the same table. We have made the expensive mistakes on our own dime, so you do not have to.

The next step
Bring us the system that keeps breaking.
We will start with a diagnosis. If we can help, we will name the path. If we are not the right fit, we will tell you that too.
