Nova Carta provides strategy, product, and practical legal—for startups
A practical partner across strategy, product and legal-ops: we clarify priorities, build the plan, and create the documents and systems that keep you moving.
About Nova Carta
Nova Carta is a boutique advisory for startups and scale-ups, founded by Nilsu Derici. We blend corporate & business strategy, product strategy, and practical legal/compliance to turn cross-border complexity into clear, executable plans.
We work across the US, UK, and Türkiye, partnering closely with founders and their teams (we’re not a law firm—we collaborate with your counsel).
Focus areas: market entry & growth, positioning and pricing, MVP/roadmap, GTM, corporate governance and lightweight legal processes for fast-moving teams.
Partnerships that last
From idea to traction—then scale
We help founders focus the strategy, shape the product, and de-risk the legal basics so progress is measured in launches, not meetings. Expect working sessions, hard decisions, and usable docs: positioning, 90-day plan, roadmap, GTM, and a light compliance checklist.
Think of us as your fractional strategy & product team—here to create clarity, build momentum, and deliver results across markets.
