Process

How Nova Startup works

A clear, four-step path from idea to funded round — for both founders raising capital and investors sourcing deal flow.

01

Create your profile

Founders submit their startup. Investors build a verified fund profile with stage, sector and ticket preferences.

02

Discover & match

Smart matching surfaces the most relevant opportunities based on stage, sector, geography and traction signals.

03

Request an intro

Send a structured intro request directly from the platform. Investors respond within days — no cold inbox noise.

04

Close the round

Move from conversation to capital. Track progress, follow up and manage momentum through your private dashboard.

Verified profiles

Every founder and investor is reviewed before going live.

Smart matching

Profiles surface to the right audience — not the whole internet.

Global by default

Built for 30+ countries, multiple languages and cross-border rounds.
