BIG LEVER VENTURES

ABOUT US
Big Lever Ventures backs media, technology, and cultural startups that reflect our founder’s commitment to creating experiences that celebrate and elevate humanity. Focused on seed-stage opportunities, we are intentionally eclectic and sector-agnostic. Beyond capital, we offer hands-on partnership and active operational leadership.

OUR THESIS
TOTAL FREEDOM
Imagine a world without borders—where data moves freely, collaboration is instant, and bold ideas can become reality with minimal cost or friction. With global access to talent, tools, and technology, how would you tackle urgent challenges, open new markets, or outmaneuver slow-moving incumbents? At Big Lever Ventures, we invite you to explore these possibilities with us—driven by next-generation tools and a mindset as global and agile as the future we’re building.
PRICE SCHISM
The cost of labor, technology, and capital has collapsed. AI delivers massive efficiency gains, cross-border teams enable cost arbitrage, and once-exclusive tools are now metered and accessible. Capital, too, is more open—founders can often sidestep traditional fundraising entirely. This breakdown in the old price structure creates an unprecedented window for innovation—where startups can launch, iterate, and scale faster than ever before.
TRUE PARTNERS
At Big Lever Ventures, we go beyond capital—offering hands-on, strategic support tailored to each venture. From shaping business models and building sales funnels to recruiting key talent and managing risk, we help founders stay focused on growth and innovation. We guide tech stack decisions, ensure security and compliance, and fast-track go-to-market execution.
Every startup is different, so our engagement models are flexible: equity investment, co-ownership, or royalty-based partnerships. No matter the structure, our goal is the same—to be your unfair advantage in a competitive world.
