Are you a Nova?

At Nova it is our members who make the community grow through their nominations.
‍
As we especially trust in the criteria of our community, if another Nova nominates you to be part of it, you will get priority and you can access the application process immediately.
‍
If not, you can join the waitlist to access it directly from here.

The Nova process uses a holistic approach designed to evaluate your overall potential and suitability for our community.

It consists of multiple stages, but we assess talent in a holistic way to discover your hidden potential. First, we consider your background, skills, behaviors, and experiences to identify exceptional talent using our scientific model. Next, you will undergo a comprehensive test that evaluates various aspects of your abilities and potential. Finally, you will go through a recorded interview where we delve deeper into your aspirations and competences.

We evaluate your performance across all stages, considering your strengths, potential, and alignment with our values. Our aim is to create a diverse and talented community of individuals who can contribute to making a positive impact in the world. You can learn more about the process here.

The value proposal for Nova members is structured around 3 pillars: connect, develop & accelerate.

Connect
Nova helps you connect with an amazing, pre-vetted network of +20K top talented individuals in +80 countries. Through Nova, you will be able to grow your network with relevant, high-potential individuals in a seamless way.

Develop
Nova helps you develop professionally via events, coaching, mentoring, courses & exclusive programs. Through Nova, you will get the support you need to become the best version of yourself.

Accelerate
Nova helps you accelerate your career via curated opportunities based on your preferences, much more relevant to top talent than the ones you may find on massive platforms.

All in all, as a Nova member you become part of a global community of high-potential individuals who are driven to make a positive impact in the world and achieve their full potential.

‍
- Nova Connect, our platform for members

Nova is merit-based access, that is, we will only select you if we believe you have the skills and potential to belong to the top talent network.

In 2023, we introduced an annual membership fee that allows us to enhance our services and bring forth innovative platform features that harness the full power of the Nova network.

Once you join, your Nova membership price will be locked in forever at the same price, but we will raise price for new members yearly as the value of the network and the benefits of the membership increase.

The membership price will be 149€/year if you join in 2024.

By becoming a member of Nova, you gain access to a realm of exclusive benefits carefully crafted to elevate your professional journey. We believe that investing in your development and connecting with a network of talented individuals is a worthwhile investment in your future. Rest assured, we are committed to ensuring that the value you receive far exceeds the cost of the membership, and we continuously work to enhance and expand our offerings for the benefit of our members.

The Nova membership is renewed annually at the locked-in fee you secured when you joined. Please note that the membership fee will increase each year for future members.

Yes, Nova is a merit-based access community where everyone has equal access to the best opportunities. If you are facing financial difficulties, you can apply for our Equal Opportunities program, which grants scholarships to qualified individuals. If you think you meet these criteria, please don't hesitate to reach out to us to learn more about it. We're committed to empowering all professionals to reach their full potential regardless of their financial situation.

Yes, we should encourage members to expense the membership to their employer or own company. We have prepared a simple one-pager about how being part of Nova contributes to your development thanks to curated content, inspirational events, and connections with like-minded members who could become future hires, clients, or business partners. As soon as you are accepted, let us know and we will share it with you.

The quality of our members is the single most important element that makes Nova a unique community: if we did not have it, we would simply become another “LinkedIn” and Nova would lose its unique value. We invest a lot in our assessment technology and team to always maintain the highest criteria for our member intake quality.

In order to ensure that the paying membership does not impact our assessment quality, we have a team separation to ensure that assessment of candidates and process of payments are fully separated: the department in charge of selection does not have any goal related to member growth or revenue, which enables the process to be fully merit-based.

Moreover, since Nova is also a B2B business, we have no incentive to lower this quality as our B2B clients would not perceive the same value if we reduced the quality of our members.

Yes, but we are very far from reaching it. We target the top 3% of the best talent with higher education between 21 and 45 years of age, which is around ~1% of the global population within that age range. This is around ~12M people globally (vs. LinkedIn which has already +600M).

In the markets where we are bigger (Sweden, Spain and Italy), we have not reached even 10% of the potential target (around ~130k in Spain and Italy, ~30k in Sweden)
