Onramp to the AI Collaboratory
Build real things. With real collaborators. In an AI-first venture studio.
Big Lever Ventures is an AI Collaboratory—a venture studio where humans and intelligent agents co-create commercial products in fast, transparent build cycles. Contributors opt into projects, share in equity and cash flow, and work in public: every prompt, prototype, and payout is open by design.
Whether you want to start something new or join an existing project, we've created a structured 12-week onramp designed specifically for recent grads with technical training—and nowhere to apply it.
Start with a project. Grow into a builder. Stay to shape what we build next.
