Startup Best Practices

With 50+ work years of valuable experience in running startups, levy has compiled startup operation best practices.
You can't find these on Google and the best internal hire has built out a few (maybe), not hundreds. Levy continuously learns across all our clients for up-to-date world-class operations.

Proprietary Checklists

Levy's exhaustive checklists, proven through successful implementations, ensure precision in every back-office operation.
Every step in onboarding to state compliance is recorded, tracked, and checked-off. Steps managed are steps not missed and errors avoided.

Standard Operating Procedures

Our regimen of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) has been meticulously curated over time to handle all back-office tasks correctly and efficiently, bringing standardization to your operations while retaining your startup's unique flavor.
Reinventing the wheel in how to run a startup is ridiculous. Don't do it. Use levy instead.

Experts have their say

Hear from titans of the industry and respected experts on the importance of checklists in any walk of life.

"Startup operations are at the same place pilots and surgeons were 50 years ago: prone to human error leading to death. Levy is bringing operations into the modern world of professionalism, discipline, and checklists. There IS a best way to run a startup and avoid death."

Adam Spector

Founder & CEO @ levy

“One essential characteristic of modern life is that we all depend on systems—on assemblages of people or technologies or both—and among our most profound difficulties is making them work.”

Atul Gawande

Author of New York Times Bestseller: The Checklist Manifesto

"No wise pilot, no matter how great his talent and experience, fails to use his checklist."

Charlie Munger

Vice Chairman @ Berkshire Hathaway
