Joe Allen is founder and CEO of Launched, the company behind Nova, the world’s first autonomous AI salesperson. That vision grew out of his early career in sales, where he experienced firsthand the inefficiency of relying on sales rep teams for prospecting, follow-ups, and cold calls — work that often led to burnout and inconsistent results. This experience inspired his mission to replace repetitive human effort with a system capable of truly selling. In 2021, Mr. Allen founded Launched and led the development of Nova, an AI platform designed to manage the entire sales cycle — from prospecting and qualification to demonstrations, negotiations, and closing. Drawing on both technical expertise and commercial acumen, he has positioned Nova to redefine how sales organizations operate. Mr. Allen envisions a future where revenue growth is driven not by large human teams managing tools, but by autonomous AI systems at the frontline of sales. Known for his persistence and commercially focused approach, Mr. Allen combines a willingness to challenge established models with a commitment to building more efficient and adaptive paths to growth. His work reflects a broader ambition: to set a new standard for business growth that is smarter, more sustainable, and less constrained by traditional limitations.
