​We Tried Something That Worked. Now We’re Scaling It.

​For the past 6 months, we’ve been working one-on-one with all of our members, especially founders, deeply and consistently. No playbooks, no group chats full of noise. Just real people, real support, and real momentum.

​Turns out, when founders feel seen and safe, they stop posturing. They share the risky stuff. They ask for help. They build better. That’s not a vibe, it’s a protocol. And now we’re leveling it up.

​Tonight's dinner marks the start of an organic partnership between the community and Troublemaker Labs, led by AJ Thomas. She’s a seasoned operator who helped build Google’s innovation lab and has spent the last decade guiding founders across private and public markets. AJ gets what it takes to move at founder speed with clarity, structure, and zero fluff.

​So tonight, we’re celebrating something rare: a trusted internal support layer for founders. Structured onboarding, tailored check-ins, and ongoing feedback loops. No pressure to perform. Just the right perspective, at the right time, from people who need it when they need it. When values align, people collaborate, and support actually means something, amazing things happen.

​NOA Odyssey is a private ecosystem for founders, funders, and creatives navigating the intersection of capital, creativity, and community. Through curated experiences, peer-to-peer collaboration, and aligned opportunities, NOA helps unlock momentum across both their personal and professional lives. We help turn ambition and aspiration into enduring outcomes that are real and impactful. Stay close to the pulse. Subscribe to our newsletter and explore more at www.noaodyssey.com.
