Nova AI

Meet your program co-director.

Nova AI isn't an open chatbot your founders have to learn to prompt. It works inside your program's processes, follows the frameworks and standards your team sets, and takes on the operational work a program manager would otherwise chase by hand, so your people can spend their time on the conversations only they can have.

An AI co-director, not a chatbot

Nova AI is set up on your frameworks, methodologies and standards, and works as an operational program manager across every venture at once.

Accelerators

Tracks each venture's pace against your milestones, flags stalled teams early and holds decks and financial models to your standards.

Your methodology, installed

Whiteboards, discussions, task lists and optional approval steps come together in each venture's process, following the path your program has already proven.

Accelerators

Your 12-week intensive installed as a process, with training material and pitch deliverables built into each step.

An async mentor network

Mentors leave feedback directly in each venture's sessions, on their own schedule, and Nova AI turns it into next steps founders can execute immediately.

Cohort management without the chasing

Nova AI tracks check-ins, sends reminders when milestones approach and shows your team the health of the whole cohort, without spreadsheets or manual status updates.

How it works

Your playbook, running in every venture.

Nova installs the way your program works as a live process, and Nova AI works inside it with your founders, mentors and program team.

1Install your playbook

Your methodology becomes the process every venture runs.

Nova installs your curriculum, milestones and evaluation criteria as a live process, so each venture knows what comes next, who owns it and when it's due, and your team can see at a glance which ventures are on track and which ones need attention.

2Founder check-ins

Every founder answers, and only the right people see each answer.

One check-in can mix steps the whole cohort sees, private answers that only your program team can read, and leader-only steps where your staff decide who needs support, so founders can be honest about where they're stuck without saying it in front of the room.

3Nova AI in every venture

An AI teammate that works to your standards.

Nova AI is assigned to steps like any member of the team, picking up research, drafts and analysis without being prompted and building on what founders and mentors have already decided, so every venture has an expert teammate between sessions.

4Async mentor feedback

Mentors give feedback on their schedule, not yours.

Mentors review decks, canvases and plans when they have time, leaving notes right on the work, and Nova AI turns their feedback into next steps founders can act on straight away, without another round of calendar invites.

5Cohort overview

See which ventures are stalling while there's still time to help.

Every venture's status and the decisions its team has made roll up for your program team as the work happens, so you can see who needs help, what each team has agreed and who owns it, without asking anyone for a status update.

6Nova AI runs the next move

Ask Nova AI to set a venture up to win.

Your coordinators can ask Nova AI to help any team with a challenge, and it sets the next session, identifies the tasks each founder should take on, weighs the considerations that matter for that team's budget and resources, and then starts executing the first steps itself.

Questions, answered.

Nova AI doesn't replace human leadership. It acts as an AI co-director that enforces your methodology, prepares next steps and discussion sessions based on what each startup needs, tracks team velocity and handles routine operational guidance, so your team and mentors can focus on the high-stakes strategic decisions.

Nova AI operates strictly within the guardrails, frameworks and standards set by your program and your expert network, so startups apply your proven playbook, not generic internet advice.

Program managers spend up to 60% of their week on administrative chasing and update logistics. Nova AI removes that burden, so your staff can manage 2 to 3 times more ventures while improving the quality of the support each one gets.

Not at all. Nova AI handles routine operational guidance, framework enforcement and research synthesis, which frees your mentors to focus on strategic advice, introductions and founder coaching, the work where their experience matters most.

Yes. You can install your program playbooks, training material, milestone frameworks and evaluation rubrics directly into Nova, and Nova AI works within them for every venture in the program.

Solo founders often miss having a team to push back on their thinking. Nova AI works as a teammate inside their workspace, helping them stress-test strategy, brainstorm solutions and move work forward between sessions.

Less than an hour, and we help you set it up. You can start from our program templates or install your own frameworks, invite founders with a single link and start running sessions straight away, with our team alongside you for the first cohort.
