Founder stories

"We won our first grant
within two weeks"

"Nova found a Google for Startups program I didn't even know existed. The application was ready in 20 minutes. We got accepted and received $100K in cloud credits."

Chanda M.
CEO, FinTech startup — Lusaka

"I used to spend 3 weeks on one grant application. Now I can submit 5 high-quality applications in the same time. The evaluator scoring told me exactly what to fix."

Amara K.
Founder, EdTech — Nairobi

"The compliance pre-check saved us from submitting an application with expired tax clearance. That one feature alone justified the subscription for a year."

FAQ

Common questions

What types of opportunities does Nova find?
Nova scans for grants, fellowships, accelerators, competitions, startup credits (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure), procurement tenders, and strategic partnerships. Sources include Opportunities for Africans, VC4A, F6S, Google for Startups, Techstars, Y Combinator, and 15+ more.
Do I need grant-writing experience?
No. Nova generates complete application packs based on your company profile. You fill in your company details once, and every application is tailored automatically. The evaluator scoring tool even tells you exactly what to improve before submitting.
Is the content original or will funders detect AI?
Nova detects each funder's AI policy automatically. If AI use is restricted, it switches to "Research Mode" which gives you outlines, bullet points, and talking points — never finished prose. You write the final words. If AI is allowed, it generates submission-ready content using your real company data, not generic filler.
What happens if I hit my quota limit?
You'll see a clear warning as you approach limits. Quotas reset monthly on your signup anniversary. Most Pro users use about 30-40% of their limits. If you consistently need more, the Business plan ($49/mo) is unlimited on all AI features.
Can I use Nova for procurement tenders?
Yes. Nova scans procurement opportunities and generates tender response documents including technical proposals, budget breakdowns, compliance statements, and company capability statements. The compliance pre-check ensures all your certifications are current before submission.
How do I pay?
We accept mobile money (Airtel, MTN, Zamtel) and card payments. Local pricing in ZMW is available. Plans are billed monthly with no long-term commitment — cancel anytime.
