Opnova, a company in IT, security, and compliance operations optimization, announced an official launch today with an agentic AI platform designed to close the automation gap in complex operational workflows. With $3.75 million in pre-seed funding co-led by Faber, ScaleX, and Preface Ventures, Opnova is set to redefine IT operations by addressing the challenges posed by rework—the time spent on repetitive, mundane, yet essential tasks.
Operations teams are known as the backbone of every business. However, the weight of repetitive tasks could impact efficiency and increase the risk of errors. Employee access requests can make up as much as 25% of IT service management requests.
This could lead to thousands of hours of lost productivity each year when handled manually. To address this issue, Opnova’s agentic AI solution offers intelligent reasoning and the ability to perform human-level tasks with adaptability and precision.
This platform is differentiated by its tunability and emphasis on human collaboration. And the AI-driven agent is configurable, ensuring that automation remains aligned with human oversight, particularly in high-stakes operations where safety, privacy, and security are paramount. Through a foundation built by cybersecurity veterans and an AI expert from the University of Chicago, Opnova’s solution is engineered to be more private, safe, and secure than existing alternatives, offering new confidence to technology executives, CIOs, and IT operations teams.
