"Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world."
— Archimedes
Big Lever Ventures
The AI Collaboratory where smart generalists and intelligent systems build what's next.
Radical collaboration. Shared cashflow & equity. Full visibility. No Org Charts.
AI Statement of Work & Philosophy
At Big Lever Ventures, we build with intelligence—both human and machine. Our AI Collaboratory isn’t about outsourcing creativity. It’s about partnering with systems that expand it.
We don’t treat AI as a tool. We treat it as a co-creator. Each product begins with curiosity, unfolds through iteration, and sharpens through feedback loops between humans and intelligent agents. Together, we move faster, think broader, and make what wasn’t possible before—possible now.
We build in public. We split the upside. And we share every prompt, score, and signal along the way.
Less theory. More leverage.
Not Chasing the Wave. Surfing It.
The Opt-In Model
Opt-in to builds for equity and cashflow
At Big Lever Ventures, no one gets assigned to projects.
You opt in, roll your desk over and build what lights you up. We work with startups, solopreneuers, and a diverse and geographically dispersed group of collaborators.
No org chart. No middle managers. Just collaborators—human and AI—creating together.
We call it the AI Collaboratory:
  • Every project is co-developed with intelligent systems
  • Every contributor shares in equity and cash flow
  • We provide know how, resources, and hands-on work
  • Every week, we build, test, publish, and repeat to launch
If it rocks we build it, if you help ship it, you earn. If we grow it, you share the upside. If it stalls or breaks, we fix it and try again ;)

Guiding Principles
Our unique model redefines how ventures are built, emphasizing radical transparency, leveraged impact, and shared ownership. It’s designed for rapid iteration and tangible results, blending human insight with intelligent agent capabilities.
Why a Collaboratory?
We don’t manage teams. We orchestrate intelligence.
The Collaboratory is where humans and agents co-create products in weekly loops—with full transparency and shared ownership.
Why it works:
  • Agents accelerate output, not headcount
  • Builders choose what they build—and earn when it ships
  • Every prompt, prototype, and payout is open by design
  • We iterate fast, publish fast, and learn in the open
We call it a Collaboratory because it’s a shared system of leverage.
Intelligent systems. Opt-in humans. Public builds. Shared upside.
Small Pods, Big Taste. Public When Proven.

Collaborate With Us
We don’t hire, we seat partners—Product Owner, Tech, Marketing, PM.
Each seat earns a published cashflow share and equity from day one.
  • Curious generalists who chase ideas across disciplines
  • AI-native builders who can prompt, prototype, and pivot
  • Artists and engineers with a craft mindset and an experimental edge
  • Product-minded operators who want to co-own what they ship
  • People who publish—not just build, but document and share
If you care more about leverage than job titles, we'd like to meet you.
You pick the project. You build with intelligent systems. You share in the upside.
How We Pay (TL;DR)
1
What We Split
Gross cash in minus sales/VAT, refunds, platform fees, direct marketing/usage, and capped advance repayment equals split-eligible profit.

Standard Split
Profit is divided: 30% BLV / 20% Product Owner / 20% Tech / 20% Marketing / 10% Project Management.
3
Timing
We close monthly, and payments are disbursed within 5 business days after month-end.
Ship Real Products, Not Résumés
Recent Grad Onramp to the AI Collaboratory
A new path for recent grads: build real products, learn AI-native skills, and share in what you create.
The Challenge for Grads
Entry-level tech jobs are vanishing, automated by the very AI tools new computer science graduates were taught to build. This creates a wall for talented individuals seeking their first career steps.
Our AI-Native Onramp
We provide a real invitation to build—not a bootcamp or simulation—with the support, structure, and transparency of a working AI-native studio. Wielding these tools effectively unlocks a faster, more creative path.
