About Novi: Your AI co-founder
Novi is your favorite AI co-founder, providing founders with the same strategic firepower typically reserved for full startup teams. Novi empowers anyone, anywhere to transform ideas into launch-ready startups—no co-founder, connections, experience, or upfront capital required. .
With just a single idea input, Novi performs a deep strategic analysis, evaluating market timing, urgency, problem clarity, defensibility, and founder-fit. She leverages advanced reasoning, live market signals, and competitive mapping to assess and refine business potential before founders invest real time or capital.
She’s not just smart—she’s opinionated. Novi doesn’t just echo your idea back; she challenges assumptions, pushes for clarity, and helps you validate whether it's worth building—fast. If it’s not quite right, she’ll help you explore smarter pivots that better align with market needs. The result? You get to MVP quicker, with sharper focus and stronger conviction.
But Novi doesn’t stop at strategy. She also generates a polished landing page, brand identity, and style guide, all customizable at the click of a button. The result: a fully packaged, professionally evaluated startup concept, ready to share, pitch, or build. She is now expanding with powerful integrations across startup essentials, development tools, and growth infrastructure—bringing together AI-driven product design, collaborative coding, intelligent automation, and scalable operations into one seamless platform.
By making high-level venture support accessible to anyone, anywhere, Novi is redefining what it means to start a company.
