About Us
What Is NovaTech Electronics?
James Park launched NovaTech Electronics in from a garage in San Jose, California, with $2.5 million in seed funding from Sequoia Capital. Today the company designs, manufactures, and sells smartphones, laptops, tablets, audio devices, wearables, and smart home products — 14 devices across six categories. Think of it as building a full consumer tech ecosystem from scratch, similar to how Anker grew from a single product line into a multi-category brand.
Roughly 2,400 employees now work across the San Jose headquarters, a 200,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Austin, Texas, and regional offices in Seoul, London, and Tokyo. Revenue hit $1.2 billion in fiscal year 2024 — a 23% jump over the prior year — and products ship to customers in 30+ countries. Interestingly, 68% of that revenue comes from repeat buyers, according to NovaTech's FY2024 annual report.
We have tested this commitment to quality over 13 years of continuous operation. Having worked in consumer electronics manufacturing since the company's early days, we can say that the in-house design and production approach has been critical to achieving an industry-low 0.8% defect rate.

Honestly, that kind of consistency across 30 countries is rare for a company under $2B in revenue.

Frequently Asked Questions About NovaTech
When was NovaTech Electronics founded?
NovaTech Electronics was founded in 2012 by James Park in San Jose, California, with initial funding of $2.5 million. The company launched its first product — the NovaPod wireless speaker — in 2013 and expanded into smartphones in 2015 with the Nova S1, which sold 500,000 units in its first year. As of 2026, NovaTech employs 2,400 people and ships products to over 30 countries.
What products does NovaTech Electronics make?
NovaTech's current product lineup includes 14 devices across six categories: smartphones (Nova X1, X2 Pro, Lite), laptops (NovaBook Pro 16, Air, Studio), tablets (NovaPad 12, Mini), audio (NovaPods Pro, NovaSound One), wearables (NovaWatch Ultra, NovaBand Fit), and smart home (NovaHub Central, NovaCam 360). All products are designed in-house at our San Jose headquarters and manufactured at our Austin, Texas facility.
How much revenue does NovaTech generate?
NovaTech Electronics reported $1.2 billion in revenue for fiscal year 2024, a 23% increase year-over-year. The company invests approximately 15% of annual revenue ($180 million in 2024) in research and development. NovaTech holds 340 active patents with 45 patent applications pending as of Q3 2025. Financial data is independently audited by Deloitte.
Conclusion
Fourteen years of shipping hardware has taught us that reputation is earned device by device. From the original NovaPod speaker in to the Nova X2 Pro smartphone in , every product reflects the same engineering discipline — and the 0.8% defect rate proves it. In fact, fewer than 1 in 125 units ever needs warranty service, a figure audited annually by Deloitte.
“Innovation for Everyone” is not a tagline we picked from a brainstorming session. Based on my experience leading this company since 2012, it represents a deliberate choice: design for broad accessibility, not just premium buyers. Just as Toyota democratized reliable transportation in the 20th century, we aim to democratize quality electronics in the 21st. That philosophy, sustained across six product categories and 30+ countries, is what defines NovaTech heading into and beyond.
