Why we started Novastart.
We built and sold a company together in 2025 (Aquavoss), and along the way we learned how much time the computer quietly takes from you. Every night we closed a desktop full of tabs, documents and half-finished work. Every morning we rebuilt it from scratch: the same windows, the same setup, the same workflows we had already done the day before. When we were working from different cities (Nick in NYC and Thomas in Los Angeles), collaborating meant screen shares and files sent back and forth, when what we really wanted was to sit at the same computer.
So we built Novastart: an operating system where every window has a place on one infinite canvas, where your work is still there tomorrow, and where a teammate can click and type in your windows from their own machine, wherever they are.
...but what we're most excited about is our AI agents. Agents can now use computers on their own, but most of them work where you can't see. At a time when trust and security in AI matter more than ever, you should be able to watch everything an agent does. So every Novastart agent has its own cursor and works in plain sight, on the same canvas as you and your team.
