Taxnova is a Vanta for R&D tax credits: an advisor-agnostic, global-first AI infrastructure layer built on top of the tools engineering teams already use — Jira, GitHub, Slack. No interviews that suck engineers time, 6 months of claim prep down to days, with more defensible output. $10B R&D tax market is the initial wedge, with software capitalisation and patent box as natural expansions. $100k ARR (inc. incident.io and Paddle), enterprise pilot with $200k+ ACV potential, live in the US and UK — backed by a16z speedrun and operators like Revolut's Head of Tax. Founded by George Nichkov and Maria Malykh — two tech operators — with team's domain expertise from EY, BDO, Grant Thornton and IRS.
