Who we are

Growth leadership forged at scale.

Levers is led by Tom Mercer, a growth and operations leader who scaled products to hundreds of millions in ARR at Uber across the UK, US and ANZ and led teams of 25+, driving double-digit top and bottom-line outcomes. He now partners with founders and investors in scaling tech companies - from pre-seed to post-acquisition turnaround - to find what's blocking growth and help them execute.

How we work

Levers is principal-led and AI-native, meaning you'll work directly with Tom Mercer on strategy and execution, backed by leading AI tools and automation designed to deliver value and scale. Where further specialised expertise is needed, we engage vetted specialists from our network on a project basis.

Why Levers

An operator, not a deck.

We do the work

  • You get an operator who builds and ships alongside you
  • We find the levers that move growth - and give you time back

Rigour at startup pace

  • Board-level planning discipline, run at the pace a startup actually needs
  • From someone who has scaled real businesses, not just advised on them

Built for hard, new markets

  • Experience turning new technology into real outcomes
  • Selling unfamiliar products to cautious, non-technical buyers

What we do

Find the levers. Pull them.

Senior operational and growth leadership on a fractional basis - delivering where momentum is needed the most.

Sharpen the strategy

You're still figuring out your model and ICP. We help you define and codify that so you can clearly articulate it - for your customers, your team and investors - and the path to execute against that.

Design the growth engine

GTM without a plan does not compound. We work with you to build out a GTM strategy and roadmap that will scale with your business and deliver against your growth goals.

Build the operating infrastructure

The scrappiness that got you moving falls over as you grow. We put in place a right-sized operational model to enable velocity - not slow it down - across people, processes and product.
