Launch, validate, and scale, with a founder who’s already exited 4 businesses.
Tactical execution with Joshua Levy and board of directors, sold last venture after scaling to $225M ACV.
Our Thesis: Distribution first. Product second.
Real GTM leverage comes from designing around distribution rails, and letting the product express itself through them.
You’re not hiring a coach.
You’re working directly with a battle tested operator who builds real companies.
Joshua Levy
Scaled and sold a $225M ACV venture
Built + exited bootstrapped companies in proptech, healthtech, consumer & real estate
What we do at Operator Labs
I partner with just 3–5 founders per quarter through one of three paths:
1) Advisory → Partner Path
Monthly advisory based on scope. Fees accumulate into a quarterly basket.
If I deepen involvement, I reinvest that basket for equity and step in as a formal operating partner.
2) Upfront Operating Partnership
Equity for time, I join from day one as a hands-on partner.
3) Capital + Operating Partnership
Equity for investment + time, I invest capital and operate alongside you.
Every engagement begins with a free working session. Value first, no pitch.
Long-term, this becomes a founder-led venture studio and private investment fund.

"Josh and I built a two-sided marketplace together and sold it within 6 months of launch after reaching $150k in annualized revenue within the first two months. Josh is hyper-motivated. He drove sales and ops and let me focus on shipping code. Josh was easy to work with and I'll co-found again with him anytime."

“Hey Josh! Wanted to let you know I took your advice about focusing on door to door and commission based work. This month we are looking at 30-40k in revenue and I hope to be at 100k a month by the end of this year. Thank you for your help!”
