About us -

Why we exist?
We exist to bring the magic of Generative AI to millions of people.

Our thesis
Generative AI is a new wave of technological disruption that will ripple through countless industries. We started Genova to be at the forefront of the revolution. Genova, meaning "New Wave" is a venture studio aimed at building delightful products around Generative AI.

Our story


After founding Smallpdf (a top 100 website globally) and Taxfix (a FinTech unicorn), Mathis founded Genova, together with a handful of other product, growth and AI experts.

Our aim is to combine our expertise and experience to build products that improve human experiences for millions of people.


How does * operate?**Genova is a fundamentally new approach to how products are built. Genova is a studio with a handful of venture teams - each one building simple tools and software to enable millions of people to use the magic of Generative AI.


The venture teams are agile, release every day and build small, scalable products that generate loads of value for a lot of people.

If their products become profitable, the team will receive a percentage of the profit as a bonus.


The teams are supported by the studio layer, which includes support functions, design and go-to-market experts as well as some of the top AI researchers in Europe.


Genova aims to always stay agile and fast - we aim to hire smart and experienced people, capping our headcount at 40 people in total.

If a product requires more people, it will become a spin-off with its own team.

Why *?**- We build faster than anyone else. We will fail and learn faster than anyone else.

  • We will fundamentally question everything and disrupt the status quo.
  • We are wellfunded but don't take VC funding. We only build for us and our customers.
  • We stay a startup forever. We will never fall for the trap of building a big corporation with politics, endless meetings and slow operations.
  • We have amazing fun as a team working with only top talent.
  • We leave our ego at the door and focus on the joy of building things together.
