About Anthony Sledge
Growth and AI systems for venture and PE-backed teams.
I'm a founder and growth operator with more than a decade across marketplaces, education, SaaS, and local services. I work across marketing, product, and engineering to turn strategy into acquisition, retention, and AI systems that teams can run.
Today I run Levered, a marketing agency as a service for founder-led and PE-backed businesses. Previously, I was Head of Growth at Vella and Senior Growth Manager at Lyft.
