About us - Genova.ai

**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.

**Why now?**

Society is at an inflection point. Where the capabilities of generative AI are only just being discovered. The next decade we expect the revolution to take place. Generative AI will become mainstream and be at the core of all product experiences.

**How does Genova.ai operate?**

Genova.ai is a fundamentally new approach to how products are built. Genova is a studio with 4 product teams - each one building simple tools and software to enable millions of people to use the magic of Generative AI.

The 4 product teams are agile, release every day and build small, scalable products that generate loads of value for a lot of people. If their product becomes profitable, the team will receive a percentage of those profits as bonuses.

The product pods are supported by the studio layer, which includes supporting functions, a kick-ass growth and marketing team 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.
