The Story of Sova
Sova Operations draws inspiration from Athena, the Greek goddess known for her wisdom, foresight, and strategic brilliance in wartime strategy. She is often depicted with an ever present owl by her side who is also a symbol of great knowledge. The name, “Sova,” meaning owl, and our logo seek to embody these qualities of strategic clarity translating to tactical actions.
We combine this by embracing the “wartime CEO” mindset introduced by
Ben Horowitz. We’re all about diving into the trenches with you and tackling the gritty realities of growing a startup.
Whether it’s facing down a depleting runway, making major product or staffing pivots, or implementing your first performance review program- Sova aims to be your ever present, on demand partner.

TASK FORCE
At Sova Operations, we know it takes an ecosystem to drive success. As part of Sova’s unique service offering is access to our network of other top-tier fractional resources and other experts. We have trusted partners who can help with cross functional challenges.
This isn’t just a business value prop; it’s part of our guiding principles. Our Founder, Charlyne Fothergill has a passion for not just building companies but ensuring we are contributing to and connecting the larger community. She has been directly involved in helping to build out ‘startup hubs’ in rural communities as well as elevating established communities by ensuring partners collaborate vs compete.
