Nova Labs (@novalabs_) — Twitter Score 22 out of 1000

Nova Labs is a technology company that created the core infrastructure powering the Helium Network, a decentralized wireless network, and continues as an active contributor to it. Nova Labs's Twitter Score is 22 out of 1000 as of August 2026, ranking #45,428 (top 10%) among 483,944 tracked accounts.

Nova Labs was co-founded by Amir Haleem, Shawn Fanning, and Sean Carey, originally operating as Helium Systems, Inc. and later as Helium Inc. before renaming itself Nova Labs in March 2022 to draw a clear distinction between the company and the community-governed Helium Network, blockchain, and HNT token. The company's former brand has since been consolidated under the Helium name, with the operating entity now identified as Nova Labs, Inc. dba Helium.

Nova Labs launched the open-source technologies at the foundation of the Helium Network, while the Helium Foundation handles network governance. The Helium Network migrated its Hotspots, tokens, and chain state to Solana on April 19, 2023. Nova Labs also operates Helium Mobile, a mobile connectivity service built on the Helium Network and partner-network coverage, and runs 1663, an internal IoT division delivering Helium-compatible enterprise IoT solutions.

Nova Labs raised a $200M Series D equity round announced on March 30, 2022, led by Tiger Global Management and Andreessen Horowitz. An earlier $15M financing announced on June 12, 2019, was co-led by Multicoin Capital and Union Square Ventures, with participation from Khosla Ventures, FirstMark Capital, GV, and Munich Re Ventures. Additional backers include Seven Seven Six, Goodyear Ventures, Liberty Global, NGP Capital, Pantera Capital, Ribbit Capital, and Telekom Innovation Pool.

Nova Labs also partnered with Telefónica to launch Helium Mobile Hotspots for selected Movistar customers in Mexico City and Oaxaca, announced January 24, 2024. On April 23, 2025, the SEC obtained a consent final judgment against Nova Labs, limited to allegations that it violated Securities Act Section 17(a)(2) through misrepresentations connected to a preferred-stock private placement; Nova Labs consented without admitting or denying the allegations and was ordered to pay a $200,000 civil penalty, with the SEC dismissing its other claims with prejudice. Nova Labs has published 142 posts on the platform and has been mentioned by 45 accounts a total of 86 times.
