As a repeat founder, you’ve had success in the past. Now you’re: - angel investing - advising - getting invited to speak at conferences - have a husband/wife/fiance - a thriving social life ...but you know that wasn’t the recipe that made your first startup successful. (2/5)

It’s the community for technical repeat founders. 2500 teams apply. We only accept ~10. The first founder accepted into the batch was CTO of a startup that IPO'd at $2B. Three teams in the current batch had $1M+ ARR coming in. One team already raised $20M. Another $10M. (4/5)

🚀 We just launched Nuova 2.0 and it’s more than just a website redesign. This marks a total shift in how we work with founders. What this means for us: - Moving from a quantity-based model to a quality-focused approach - Transitioning from subscriptions to 1:1 value-driven partnerships - Becoming true business partners for founders—not just service providers - Fully aligning with founders' visions to make great design happen at scale - Limiting the number of clients to deliver maximum value and build long-term relationships What this means for our clients: - A streamlined collaboration process with personal 1:1 communication - A pricing model built around value for each growth stage—not the number of designs - No more wasted time on task boards—we handle everything so founders can focus on growing their business This is our bold step forward to redefine how startups scale with design.

Marc on what the next generation of founders need: “Really excellent thinking coupled with a high degree of energy and courage.” On TBPN, Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 discussed how tools like ChatGPT Deep Research are giving founders “PhD-level” information to succeed, and why he’s still waiting for “the company with 1,000 employees – 999 are bots.”

We are thrilled to announce the launch of avra — a 7-week program designed specifically for post-Series A CEOs looking to scale their companies effectively. As most startup founders are first-time CEOs, the journey can be daunting, and resources are scarce. That’s why we created avra : to bridge that gap and provide structured, actionable insights from those who’ve been there. Each week, you’ll dive deep into essential topics like hiring and managing leaders, how to accelerate shipping velocity, and refine strategic planning. Every session is taught by experienced CEOs and operators from the world’s best companies. Since launching last year, we’ve run three cohorts, with 37 CEOs participating in the program. Don’t just take our word for it—hear from the avra founders directly!
