About the company
What they build and who they serve.
Nova Intelligence is a San Francisco-based startup building an agentic AI platform purpose-built for SAP teams. Its agents analyze, document, modernize, and generate the custom code that runs payroll, supply chains, and finance functions inside Fortune 500 SAP environments — accelerating the move to S/4HANA and a Clean Core architecture. The company was founded in 2024 by Emma Qian (formerly at Google DeepMind and Meta AI), Sam Yang, and Prof. Alexander Zeier, co-inventor of SAP HANA and former CTO of Accenture's SAP Business Group.
