Operations+
Research teams struggle with operations when they should be devoting their energy to science. Leverage provides full-stack operational support to non-profit projects, including any or all of the following:
- Fundraising — Strategy, fundraising materials, asks, funder management
- Engagement — Audience analysis, web design, content creation, media strategy
- Recruiting — Sourcing, interviews, assessment, hiring negotiation
- Operations — Accounting, budgeting, payroll, human resources, compliance
- Founding — Basic org. setup, multi-state registrations, 501(c)(3) application
Operations+ is a good fit for teams with initial funding that have not yet established themselves as self-sufficient entities and individual researchers with independent support hoping to expand in the future.
Partnerships
For exceptional teams, Leverage offers the option of a full partnership. Partnership includes joint scientific planning, full-organization collaboration, and last-mile project support, in addition to Ops+.
Previous partners include: the Quantum Biology Institute (QBI).
Consultation
Leverage also does consultations, providing advice and narrowly defined support for time-limited engagements. This option is best for established teams and projects that are facing organization-level challenges or would like an independent perspective on key challenges and bottlenecks. Leverage also provides advice and guidance pro bono to people and teams at an earlier stage.
Past clients
Leverage has worked with a range of organizations at different support levels in the past. These includes one-off consultations, ongoing advisory relationships, and multi-year partnerships.
