  Who we are

  Levellr is run by two co-founders, Tom (CEO) and Ben (CTO), who have been building communities for the last 15 years at companies big (YouTube, Interpublic Group) and small (MyCujoo). We launched the company in 2021 with a mission to help our customers with the shift to community platforms like Discord & Reddit. We’ve largely bootstrapped so far, recently raising some investment from experienced gaming & media investors like Mitch Lasky, Owen Mahoney, Fuel Ventures, COLOPL Next, Crush Ventures and Dylan Collins as well as senior executives from Krafton, Riot Games, Amazon, EA and SuperAwesome.

• We work remotely. You’ll see us in calls from London coworking spaces, suburban home offices, and the occasional Airbnb.

• We get stuff done. We have a bias for action and love creating value from nothing but our code and our conversations.

• We thrive in uncertainty. We listen to market feedback and iterate continuously to build products our customers love.

• We work flexibly. We work around school runs, workouts at the gym & meals with the kids.

• We value autonomy, independence, transparency, and trust. We always do the right thing for the

  team and the business, even if it costs us & we give each other radically honest feedback and challenge assumptions.
