Introduction Hi, my name is Joey Nowlin, and I am the founder of Novus, a mobile app providing guidance and community for individuals in recovery from addiction. I've spent years working on this project because I believe that we can do a much better job at helping those who want to live a life free from addiction. The Purpose of This Fundraiser How do we know we are on the right track? After countless pitches, calls, and conversations, its clear. People believe in our mission and see the value in our approach. However, unless we can get enough exposure and traction, this potential will go unfulfilled. The good news is, we have just the right opportunity to take this leap! We recently presented Novus to Oxford House, an international organization that provides sober living solutions for individuals in the process of recovery. They loved our project so much that they invited us to share Novus at their Worlds conference this August! This is an incredible opportunity to reach a large audience in need of our services. Unfortunately, as a pre-seed startup, we are all working pro bono, and lack the internal funds to make this trip happen. Here’s where we need your help and support. Your donation will allow our team to attend the convention and showcase Novus to over 2000 Oxford House representatives. This exposure will boost sign-ups for our free beta app launch this fall, and a successful beta launch will serve as traction and validation for our app, enabling us to secure the necessary funding to fully realize the potential of Novus. I believe this is a golden opportunity to turn this dream into a reality, and I will be ever grateful for your support in making this come true. Anything helps, thank you for your consideration! :-) Want to know more about Novus? Novus is a gamified recovery app featuring personalized direction, resources, performance-based rewards, empirical recovery metrics, and community support to improve recovery sustainability. Our mission is to provide accessible and effective support to those struggling with addiction. Read more about our project at www.becomenovus.com Why This Cause Matters The significance of this cause is rooted in the far-reaching impact of addiction on millions of Americans each year. Despite the widespread prevalence of substance use disorders, a vast majority of those affected do not receive the necessary support and treatment. Moreover, even among those who do seek assistance, relapse rates remain alarmingly high. It is this pressing concern, coupled with personal connections to the issue, that compelled the creation of Novus. Our app was founded with a deep-seated belief in the inherent worth of every individual, and our mission is to provide accessible, effective, and sustainable support for those in need of recovery.
