We're building the social HQ we always wanted.
Created in 2023 by a former growth engineer who got tired of stitching together six tools to ship one campaign.
Marcus Chen
Founder & CEO, PostNovaMarcus Chen is the Founder and CEO of PostNova, where he's redefining how creators, agencies, and brands manage their social presence at scale. With over a decade of experience at the intersection of marketing technology and the creator economy, Marcus has spent his career building tools that turn complex workflows into elegant, intuitive products.
Before founding PostNova in 2023, Marcus led growth engineering at two venture-backed social media startups and consulted for Fortune 500 brands on their digital-first transformations. His frustration with the fragmented landscape of scheduling tools, AI generators, and engagement dashboards became the seed for PostNova — a single platform built for the way modern creators actually work.
A graduate of Stanford with a degree in Computer Science and Design, Marcus is a vocal advocate for ethical AI in content creation and frequently writes about the future of creator-led marketing. He believes the next decade of brand-building belongs to small teams armed with powerful, opinionated software.
When he's not shipping product or recording the PostNova podcast, Marcus mentors first-time founders, restores vintage motorcycles, and over-indexes on cold brew. He lives in Brooklyn with his partner and an absurdly opinionated tabby cat named Pixel.
"Tools should disappear into the work. If you notice the software, it's still in the way."
Ship opinionated software
We make the hard calls so you don't have to drown in toggles. Defaults you'll love. Customization where it matters.
Tools that disappear
The best software gets out of your way. We optimize for the moment between idea and published.
Creators come first
We build with operators in the room. Every feature ships only after a real creator says, "finally."
