An AI-enabled acquirer of vertical software
Founder-led vertical software businesses, rebuilt around AI workflows, outcome economics, and disciplined long-term ownership.
We focus on cargo, customs, freight, and warehousing. Founders retain operating control. SuperNova adds liquidity, AI capability, and federation-level leverage.
The federation
Portfolio companies join SuperNova for what happens after close: deployable AI capability, shared operating leverage, and equity that compounds as the federation expands. Two founder-led businesses anchor the platform today. More joining selectively.
Cargo management platform serving airlines, GSAs, and logistics operators across 40+ countries. Built over 15+ years with deep workflow knowledge and 90%+ recurring revenue.
24-year cargo and logistics software pioneer with deep customs, cargo, and warehouse operating depth. CMMI Level 3 certified with a cross-modal product portfolio serving India and adjacent markets.
The shift
Per-seat SaaS is mature. The next margin shift comes from workflow execution.
AI agents can now perform booking, routing, clearing, and reconciliation directly.
Value capture is moving from access to measurable operational outcomes.
Operating model
Hold for the long term. Preserve founder autonomy. Stay selective enough that discipline becomes the moat.
We acquire founder-led vertical software businesses in mission-critical operations. Typical fit: $1–5M ARR, 70%+ recurring revenue, and clear vertical depth. Founders retain the company, team, brand, and P&L.
SuperNova OS gives portfolio companies a shared AI operating layer they can adopt by capability. Today, that means workflow-specific automations such as booking, routing, clearing, and reconciliation tasks being layered onto existing systems of record without moving customer data into a shared database.
Each acquisition adds capabilities the rest of the federation can adopt. Over time, anonymized operating signals support pricing, forecasting, and benchmarking products. The federation expands without forced consolidation.
Where we focus
We start where workflows are dense, outcomes are measurable, and systems of record are deeply embedded in daily operations: the work behind every shipment, clearance, and cross-border transaction.
Structure
SuperNova is being built as a Canada-focused holding structure for founder-led vertical software companies. Portfolio companies remain operating subsidiaries with their own brands, teams, customer relationships, and P&Ls.
The parent entity is being organized for a Canadian public-market path, with investor communication and governance designed accordingly.
Operating companies sit underneath the holding structure and continue to run with local management, local workflow depth, and customer-facing continuity.
Capital allocation, AI capability, and cross-portfolio operating leverage sit at the federation layer rather than being forced into a single merged operating stack.
For founders
You've built something real: customers, revenue, and software inside a mission-critical workflow. You know where the next decade of growth could come from. What you may not have is the capital, AI capability, or distribution reach to unlock it at the right speed.
SuperNova offers a third path: liquidity now, meaningful equity upside later, and continued operating control. You retain your company, team, brand, and customer relationships. We add the AI layer, data infrastructure, and federation leverage.
AI operating layer
Current proof points, not a future-state sketch: two live portfolio companies, workflow-dense operating environments, and a shared approach to booking, routing, clearing, and reconciliation tasks without centralizing customer data.
