Fractional CTO and Investor - AI & Enterprise SaaS

We're looking for a Fractional CTO and INVESTOR to join Nova at the ground floor.

But before I get to the role — let me tell you what we're building.

Every founder, PM, and engineering leader I've spoken to has felt this:

A project was already broken before anyone knew it.

A team was already frustrated before anyone noticed.

Communication had already failed before the deadline was missed.

Nova is building AIRA — an AI layer that sits inside Slack, Google work speace and Teams and detects where team communication is breaking down, before it becomes a delivery failure or a people problem.

Not a dashboard. Not a bot. An invisible intelligence layer that surfaces the right signal at the right time.

Where we are today:

Working prototype — live and being tested

5 potential clients in active conversations

Pre-Seed round open — closing in 30 days

Series A targeted within 6 months

THE ROLE

Title: Fractional CTO and Investor

Commitment: 5–10 hours per month

Stage: Pre-Seed | AI & SaaS

What you'll actually do:

Shape the technical architecture and scalability roadmap

Help us make the right early engineering decisions

Advise on hiring our first full-time engineering team

Be a sounding board as we move toward Series A

Open doors — intros to enterprise clients, technical validators, investors

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Senior engineering leaders, VPs or CTOs with 10+ years of experience

Someone who has built or scaled SaaS products

Deep understanding of AI/ML integration in real products

Has felt the pain of communication breakdowns in engineering teams firsthand

Wants to be close to an early-stage product — not just consult from a distance

This is not a full-time role.

This is for someone who wants to back something they believe in — with their time, expertise, and network.
