The business, the turning points, and the decisions behind them.
01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
NOVA A.I. was an online video editing platform, founded in London in 2022 by Michael Moss, that made video editing accessible to non-experts. Its most popular tool was an auto subtitle generator with translation, alongside an AI video analysis program that let editors search and log specific footage scenes.
