About Us

ABOUT US

At Big Lever Ventures, we create, fund, and operate software startups that promise exceptional return on invested capital alongside outsized revenue per employee, focusing on opportunities with a low capital intensity that leverage AI and machine learning technologies. We focus on seed and early-stage opportunities and are sector-agnostic but favor innovations that offer a step-function advancement capable of disrupting traditional industries. We are not traditional venture capital investors and are accepting of non-unicorn opportunities.

Our Thesis

OUR THESIS

PRICE MECHANISM SCHISM 

The cost of labor, technology, and capital has never been lower than it is today and, in many industries, approaches zero at startup. AI magnifies labor efficiency, while cost may be arbitraged across borders. The most advanced technologies are available as metered utilities and often require no CapEx. Even the need for capital is ameliorated by technology, with access democratized and platformed.  

WHAT CAN YOU IMAGINE

What can you imagine in a world without borders, where information is free and abundant, communication is instant, and collaborators are everywhere? How will you implement your ideas when the price mechanism for both labor and technology approaches zero and access to capital is either unnecessary or readily facilitated for entrepreneurs who demonstrate traction in solving real problems?

WORKING WITH US

Big Lever Ventures offers entrepreneurs a comprehensive value proposition, encompassing capital investment, strategic guidance, and hands-on operational support. Our capital provision facilitates vital areas such as growth enhancement and customer acquisition. Our advice ranges from high-level strategic planning to detailed assistance in business model development and customer acquisition.

 

Additionally, we provide a wide array of services through our robust hybrid team and extensive partner network.
