NovaLatin, new

Building what’s new.

We start brands from the ground up and back founders with real momentum.

VeraLatin, true

Backing what’s true.

We buy and invest in companies with real substance, and give them room to grow.

Novera is a brand house. We buy, build and invest in companies, and we only put our name behind what we can stand behind.

Manifesto

Everyone chases the new. Few stay true.

We started Novera on a simple belief: the new and the true were never meant to be a trade-off. Markets reward noise. We back substance. We buy companies worth keeping, build the ones worth starting, and invest where momentum meets meaning.

A new era, grounded in something real.

What we do

Buy. Build. Invest. Advise.

Our mark is a four-point star, a nova burning brighter. Each point stands for one thing we do.

Buy

We acquire companies with real substance, then give the people running them room and resources to grow.

Build

We start brands from the ground up. Products and companies made to last, not to flip.

Invest

We put capital and time behind founders with momentum, and the substance to last.

Advise

Through Novera Advisory, we work alongside companies that want an experienced partner on growth and brand.

How we decide

Most pitches sound good. Few hold up.

Before we buy, build or invest in anything, we ask five questions. If every answer is yes, we want to hear from you.

  • Would customers miss it if it disappeared tomorrow?Real demand, not borrowed attention.
  • Does it make money without the hype?Numbers that work on a quiet month.
  • Are the people running it in it for the long run?Founders and teams who plan in years.
  • Can it grow without losing what made it good?Scale that keeps the product honest.
  • Would we be proud to own it in ten years?If not, we pass.

Where you might fit.

You’re ready for what’s next and want a buyer who keeps what works.

Our approach

Endorsed, never absorbed.

When a company joins Novera, it keeps its name. We add what it needs to grow and leave what made it good alone.

What stays

  • Your name and your brand.
  • Your team and how they work.
  • The trust your customers already give you.
  • The thing that made it good in the first place.

What we add

  • Capital, with patience attached.
  • Brand and creative direction.
  • Performance marketing and growth, built in house.
  • A partner to think with on the hard calls.
How it works

From first message to first move.

Whether you’re selling, building or raising, it starts the same way.

  1. 01

    A conversation.

    Tell us what you’ve built or what you’re building. No deck needed.

  2. 02

    We look under the hood.

    Customers, numbers, people. Honest questions, both ways.

  3. 03

    A clear answer.

    Yes or no, with the reasons. A yes comes with a proposal in plain language.

  4. 04

    We get to work.

    The plan we agreed on is the plan we run.

Who we are

Founder-led. You talk to the person who decides.

Before Novera, Asger founded Wavi Media, a paid media agency for e-commerce and consumer brands, and Novera Advisory. He has also built and owned e-commerce brands of his own. So when we look at your company, we look at it the way an operator does.

“I’ve built brands, run them and grown them for others. Novera is where I put all of that behind companies worth keeping.”

The name

Two Latin roots. One whole thesis.

Nova

Latin for new. Also a star that suddenly burns brighter. Transformation, ambition, momentum.

Vera

Latin for true and real. What is genuine, with no filler and no facade. Trust and substance.

Together, new and true. A new era grounded in something real, not hype.
