Our Story
In 2019, Adam was an MBA student at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, while Sophia was a professor of social impact and program director of the Golub Capital/Kellogg Board Fellows program. In 2023, Sophia turned to Adam for his expertise on a technology project for her nonprofit governance and strategic planning consulting practice. Their collaboration flourished, and in 2024—driven by a shared urgency to support small and midsized nonprofits in strategic planning—PlanPerfect was born.
The Owl
The owl—an ancient symbol of wisdom and clarity—serves as a fitting representation of these qualities at PlanPerfect.
We created PlanPerfect as a simple solution to a big challenge: how to empower small and mid-sized nonprofits to succeed and make the world better one mission at a time. As nonprofit experts, we bring passion, dedication, and an understanding of the intricacies of strategic planning and consulting. PlanPerfect is designed to be more than just a software tool—it's a comprehensive solution aimed at simplifying and enhancing the strategic planning process for small and mid-sized organizations.
