LEVL
Verified reputation infrastructure for the creator economy
The creator economy runs on trust but has no infrastructure to verify it. Every sector has its reputation layer - LinkedIn for professionals, GitHub for developers, Stripe for payments. Nothing exists for creators.
I spent the last 6 months designing LEVL to be that layer. Verified, portable reputation signals for creators, managers, brands & sponsors.
What exists: a fully interactive concept demo at joinlevl.com, published Trust Framework, investor brief, complete brand identity, and a registered UK company. No code, no paying users - that's stated transparently.
I'm not the right person to build and scale this. I'm looking for a founder or operator who sees the category and wants to own it.
Listed on Acquire.com. Asking $32k. Founder retains 10% equity as a condition of sale.

I think the interesting part is that you're treating reputation as infrastructure rather than another creator platform. If reputation isn't portable, creators end up rebuilding trust every time they work with a new brand or ecosystem. That's a much bigger problem than just profiles or reviews.
Exactly that. Every other platform builds features on top of the trust problem - LEVL is the trust layer itself. Portable, verified, cross-platform. The data moat builds over time in a way that can't be replicated quickly. Thanks for getting it!
That's exactly the implication I was thinking about.
Reading your reply, I think there's one strategic business decision sitting underneath "trust layer" that becomes much more significant over time, but I don't think I can do the reasoning behind it justice in a thread.
Happy to explain what I mean if it's useful. What's the best email to reach you on?

Just sent it over by email.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts once you've had a chance to read it.
