Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Sojorne is a digital health and care services company focused on families raising children with autism and other developmental disabilities. Its platform spans four components: Sojorne Navigate, guided support that walks families through the autism care journey from diagnosis to therapy; the Sojorne App, a web and mobile tool for communication, real-time updates and centralized care tracking; Sojorne Care, access to a multidisciplinary pediatric team providing ABA, speech, occupational and physical therapy; and AI-powered navigation tools paired with caregiver training resources to help parents identify and access care options and benefits.

The consumer-facing membership includes a parent-created video library, blog resources on topics such as IEP/504 planning, sensory needs and school transitions, a parent forum, and video consultations with a Navigator backed by researchers and specialists. The company also runs free community events, such as Zoom sessions with licensed clinicians on managing stress while parenting neurodiverse children. Alongside families, the website addresses providers, state agencies and partners as distinct audiences.

On the services side, Sojorne Care delivers ABA therapy through in-home, community-based, virtual and center-based programs, describing a naturalistic, child-led approach and purpose-built therapy clinics. The company states that its care operations unite the methods of Growing Minds Outside of The Box with Sojorne's technology.

Founding story

The company describes itself as built by parents, for parents, to simplify care coordination and provide expert guidance and community for families navigating autism care.

Business model

Sojorne operates a hybrid model: a membership-based digital platform offering caregiver training content, a parent forum, resource navigation and video consultations with care navigators, alongside direct delivery of pediatric therapy services through Sojorne Care centers and in-home/community programs. The site notes that ABA therapy is typically covered by insurance, which generally requires a physician referral and an autism or related disability diagnosis.

Revenue sources indicated on the company website are platform membership and billing for ABA and related pediatric therapy services, which the company says are typically covered by insurance subject to referral and diagnosis requirements.

Traction

The website publishes member testimonials, including from a military family describing multi-year support, and lists three Sojorne Care center locations across Florida and Alabama plus in-home, community and virtual programs. The Techstars job board lists the company at 1-10 employees.
