Nascence
Melodie was born in the city of angels to a British mum and Iranian dad. She grew up between Los Angeles and London, attending Steiner-Waldorf school where she climbed trees, played with watercolour and beeswax in an analog galaxy far away.
Light years passed and she entered the tech universe, spending the last decade building early and growth stage startups in the US, UK and Europe. Working directly alongside founders throughout their journeys from new, explosive startups to galactic exits inspired Melodie to start Founder Nova.
Melodie is passionate about working with mission driven founders and social entrepreneurs. To date, she has contributed to the successful exits of five startups including products and platforms for the consumer, creative and impact industries. She hopes to share sprinkles of this stardust with each of her founder partners.
