Who This Is For

Built for Real People at Real Moments

You don't need a business degree or a tech background. You need a plan, the right tools, and a community that has your back.

Small Business Owners

You are running it — sales, delivery, invoicing, all of it. You need the business to stop depending on how many hours you can stay awake.

Consultants & Specialist Founders

HR, coaching, professional services. You are excellent at the work. Running a business around the work is the part nobody trained you for.

Nonprofit & Community Leaders

Grants, boards, reporting, and a budget that assumes you will cope. You build capacity for everyone else. This is the room where someone builds it for you.

Professionals Working Out What's Next

Laid off, pivoting, or building quietly on the side. You do not need a pep talk. You need a first step with a date on it.

AI as a Force Multiplier

Purpose-Driven AI.
Real-World Business Impact.

We don't teach AI for AI's sake. We use it to solve the business problem in front of you.

Not another AI hype session. You spend the day running your business on a stack you built yourself — and leave knowing exactly what it can do.

Point It At Anything

A grant narrative. A board paper. A pricing model. Once you can see what your stack does, the applications are yours to choose.

Built By You, Not For You

You leave understanding every piece of what you built. No black box, no dependency, nobody to come back to for permission.

Your Business Brain

One set of operating instructions that knows your business, your voice and your standards. Build it once in the room; it works every time after.

Systems That Run Without You

Standardize the work so it stops routing through you every time. This is the line between busy and scalable.

The Week Back

The admin that eats your evenings, handled. You keep the judgment calls — the part nobody should ever automate.

Lean AI Stack

Build a working toolkit on the tools you already have access to — tool pricing changes, so we teach you where paying starts to earn its keep, not a fixed price tag.

The Room You're Walking Into
Judi Snell — Founder, Mommentis · WOYA · CAiG Judi — Always moving forward
Your Lead Facilitator

Meet Judi Snell

Founder of WOYA, Mommentis Consultants (a for-profit business consulting firm), and Collaborative AI Group (CAiG) — Judi is an Economist, small business strategist, an advocate for AI adoption with purpose, and creator of the Y-Method™: a customizable decision-making framework built for founders navigating complex, real-world challenges.

She built three interconnected organizations from the ground up — each one a proof of concept for what compassionate, AI-powered, human-centered business looks like in practice. Her work spans from intimate founder rooms in Manhattan to the UN High-Level Political Forum in New York.

She doesn't just teach what to do. She's already done it — and she'll show you exactly how, in a room small enough that you can ask every question you've been afraid to ask.

July 2026 · UN Headquarters, New York

Judi at HLPF 2026

As convener and strategic facilitator of "AI or Be Left Behind — Building the Human Infrastructure the SDGs Actually Need," Judi Snell led one of the most significant conversations happening at the intersection of AI, equity, and global development.

Not a panel presentation — a convened movement, bringing policymakers, technologists, and community voices together to make the case that AI adoption without human infrastructure is development theater. The founders in rooms like this one are the human infrastructure the SDGs need.

What Founders Actually Say

No polished PR quotes. Real people. Real results.

★★★★★

“I didn’t just leave with a plan. I left with a business — payment systems set up, business accounts open, and everything ready to launch. Mommentis built it with me in the room. That’s not a workshop. That’s transformation.”

Sotonye H.

HR Business Founder · cyliaroh.com

★★★★★

“In a 2-hour consultative discussion, Judi walked me through ways to simplify my process, and her advice was spot on. She introduced me to several options on Canva, a seamless platform that not only enhanced my efficiency but also significantly cut costs.”

Bimpe Onakoya

CEO, Elite Makeup Pro · Former Artistic Director, L’Oréal & Maybelline West Africa

★★★★★

“I operate across borders and the efficiency gap was costing me real money. What I learned here compressed what used to take me days into hours. I walked out with things I could use the very next morning.”

Mike A.

International Contractor

★★★★★

“As a life coach launching my own consultancy, I needed clarity on the business side. Judi’s approach is practical, human, and unlike any workshop I’ve attended. It felt built specifically for me.”

Carien T.

Founder, Sovereign Life Consulting

★★★★★

“Working with Mommentis Consultants has been invaluable. We’ve refined our non-profit strategies, ensuring our work remains impactful and sustainable.”

Sidonie Kangnama

CEO, Margo James Funds Inc · New York

★★★★★

“Judi provided clear direction on how to simplify our process, create more efficiencies with AI and other actionable business solutions, which helped us enhance our program strategies. They did great.”

Two things we'd rather say plainly than bury

Manhattan days do not include lunch. The 45-minute break is yours, with curated options within two blocks listed in your Playbook. That's deliberate — it's a large part of why the day is $149 rather than $279.

The $1,399 retreat tier includes two nights’ hotel and meals. About $400 of that goes straight to the venue, not to us. The $999 tier is the identical two days, with your own room arrangements.

Want everything? Book the Immersion Retreat with hotel and meals and every other session is included at no extra cost — $999 for the retreat alone, or $1,399 with two nights’ hotel and meals. Email us and we’ll set it up directly.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Who is this for?+

New business owners, founders at a crossroads, and nonprofit leaders who want to use AI as a practical tool — not a buzzword. If you're building something real and you're serious about it, this room is for you.

Do I need a tech background?+

Absolutely not. Every session is designed for non-technical founders. You'll work with AI tools hands-on, but we start from zero and build from there. Free AI accounts are enough — you don't need a paid subscription to anything. Bring a laptop and your business challenge; we bring the tools.

What's the $29 virtual session, and how does the credit work?+

It's a 2.5-hour live working session on Microsoft Teams, Sep 26, 11:00am–1:30pm EDT. Your $29 ticket credits in full toward the Manhattan masterclass — so if you attend on the 26th, the Oct 24 session costs you $120 instead of $149. It's the cheapest way to find out whether this is for you.

Where are the Manhattan masterclasses held?+

Held at Luminary, 1204 Broadway, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10001 — a world-class space for women and non-binary professionals, and wheelchair accessible. The session runs 11:00am–4:00pm.

Is lunch included?+

No — and that's deliberate. The 45-minute break is yours to spend how you like, with curated options within two blocks listed in your Playbook. Not catering the day is a large part of why a Manhattan masterclass is $149 rather than $279. We'd rather put the difference into the room than the sandwiches.

What about the Dec 19–20 Immersion Retreat?+

It runs Saturday and Sunday, 11:00am–4:00pm both days, at a private venue on Long Island, NY — the exact address goes to registrants four weeks ahead. You're welcome to arrive Friday evening after work to settle in and rest before Saturday begins, so nobody has to take a day off. Two tiers: $999 for the seat alone, or $1,399 with two nights’ hotel and meals included.

Can I attend just one masterclass?+

Yes — every session stands alone, and nothing is held back to sell you the next thing. The next one is simply able to do more. The Complete Pass covers the Oct 24 virtual, Beyond the Barrier™ on Oct 24 and a retreat seat for $899 — email us.

What's your refund policy?+

Full refunds up to 7 days before any event, handled through Eventbrite. Inside seven days we can't refund — the seat was held and the room was paid for — but talk to us at hello@mommentis.com about moving you to a later date.

Is the venue accessible?+

Luminary is wheelchair accessible. If you need anything else — dietary requirements for the retreat, materials in another format, a quiet space during breaks — email hello@mommentis.com before you book and we'll sort it out. Asking costs you nothing.

The cheapest way to find out is $29.

Two and a half hours online on September 26 — and the ticket credits in full toward any Manhattan day this autumn.

“I understood AI before this, but I had real concerns about privacy. Sitting in the Masterclass is where it clicked. Once I saw that solved, I was all in.”
