Outreach angles
- -Novaworks built its AI-native HCM operating system natively on the ServiceNow platform, positioning it to capture enterprise customers already invested in the ServiceNow ecosystem rather than competing head-on with legacy HCM vendors.
- -The $8M seed round includes strategic participation from ServiceNow Ventures itself, signaling product-market fit validation directly from the platform partner and opening potential distribution through ServiceNow's enterprise sales channels.
- -Launching out of stealth on March 23, 2026 alongside its funding announcement, Novaworks is targeting the full workforce management stack with an agentic OS approach - a direct challenge to fragmented point solutions dominating enterprise HR today.
