Nove: onshore and nearshore software development

Our Story

Formerly IO Connect, Nova’s journey began with a vision to redefine how businesses access top-notch software engineering talent. Our company started with a lean, agile team in LATAM, driven by a commitment to cost-effectiveness and revolutionizing our client’s tech. Our founder, Javier, saw the potential of leveraging the same time zone to streamline coordination and act as an extension of our clients’ teams.

Our commitment to our clients is supported with our philosophy of continuous self-improvement and learning. We believe in a culture where growth is constant and knowledge is always evolving. Our team is encouraged to continuously enhance their skills, challenge conventional thinking, and drive our collective success forward. We’re not just leading the industry, we’re pioneering it.

A word from our founder

My background in high-tech roles within American enterprises (like American Express, AWS, and Vistaprint) and startups (like Ritani and RSG Media) inspired me to create Nova. When I founded Nova in 2016, it was driven by a clear vision: efficiency and opportunity. Why were U.S. companies enduring delays in offshore collaboration? Why were they paying top dollar for less experienced talent when they could access senior engineers at a fraction of the cost, just a phone call away?

It didn’t add up.

Blending U.S. and LATAM talent isn’t just the most capital-efficient model; it’s the most time-efficient. It’s a win-win. But this approach only works with exceptional talent. This platform is designed to nurture top talent from Latin America, enabling us to identify potential and bridge technical gaps. At Nova, we are committed to cultivating our own talent!

Over the years, we’ve built a team of the world’s best engineers, working remotely across the U.S. and LATAM. Our track record speaks for itself, with partnerships that include AWS, Salesforce, Datadog, MuleSoft, and more.

For too long, startups and corporations hesitated to integrate nearshore talent, often relegating them to monitoring and support roles. But times have changed. Remote work culture has evolved, and the world has caught up to what we’ve known all along: top technical talent thrives both in the U.S. and LATAM.
