Our Story

We were founded in November 2018, when our co-founders—Bryan, Jessica, Max, and Stephanie—wanted to use their technical skills to make an active impact in the LA community.

In the coming weeks, they cold-emailed nonprofits across the city, seeking out problems that technology could tackle.

It’s this constant desire to learn and create that has brought together 40+ committed members working year-round on projects to help nonprofits serve their communities more effectively.

We are a close-knit group of CS, design, and business students at UCLA, each actively participating in outreach, problem-solving, and development.

We strive to understand the reality of under-resourced communities by working closely with nonprofits. We represent an ambitious, fast-moving, and creative team aiming to make a lasting impact.

We believe that anyone can help bring change to the community. We are Nova.
