In 2020, three entrepreneurs from different corners of Europe - Andrea Marino from Italy, Ramón Rodrigáñez from Spain, and Lars-Henrik Friis Molin from Sweden - recognized a fundamental gap in how exceptional professionals connect with opportunity. Traditional professional networks had become noisy, crowded platforms where merit was lost in the shuffle. They believed the top 3% of talent deserved a space curated around actual potential, not just credentials.
From this insight, Nova Talent was born as a merit-based professional network that would transform how high-potential individuals discover mentors, co-founders, employers, and peers. The founders developed a holistic assessment process evaluating 200+ data points across distinguished backgrounds, in-demand competencies, personal traits, and logical reasoning. Today, Nova connects over 25,000 members across 80+ countries through peer groups, mentoring, exclusive events, and a revolutionary matching engine called Gravity. What started as a vision to elevate meritocracy has become a global ecosystem where the world's most ambitious talent doesn't just network - they accelerate their careers together.
