Novara Energy

What Novara Energy does

Novara operates as a dual-identity entity centered on the Novara Solutions brand (novarallc.com). On one track, Novara was carved out of KPA in January 2026 with backing from Providence Equity Partners, with Michael Bruns appointed CEO, to commercialize an AI-embedded safety and operational risk management software platform — the Novara Risk Management Platform — sold on a subscription/recurring basis to high-risk industrial verticals including manufacturing, construction, utilities, and oil and gas. The platform's core value proposition is intelligent automation of safety workflows and risk controls rather than a separately licensed data or model asset.

On a parallel track, Novara Solutions functions as a joint venture between IntellectFaces Inc. (AI expertise) and Shivan Technologies Inc. (IT and cybersecurity), marketing itself as a federal IT consulting firm with a Virginia corporate domicile. Its services portfolio spans AI/ML Solutions, Digital Transformation, Cyber Security, Web/Mobile Development, Configuration Management, Program/Project Management, Data Analytics, and Engineering Support, delivered under direct contracts to U.S. federal agencies including the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Justice, the Navy, and HealthCare.gov. The firm claims 20+ years of combined JV experience, security-cleared personnel, and procurement flexibility tied to small-business contracting advantages, monetizing via time-and-materials and fixed-price federal engagements plus a downloadable capability statement used as a direct-procurement channel.

The combined entity has no disclosed headcount, no disclosed revenue, no funding round amounts, and no third-party financial validation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, certifications and compliance listings are empty, and there are no patents, trademarks, or AI-specific research artifacts on record. The company is private, U.S.-domiciled, and operates a single-country footprint with no app, API, or SDK surface; AI capability is delivered primarily through consulting engagement rather than proprietary model development.
