AI changed what one person can build.

Technical founders can now ship in a weekend what used to take a quarter. Non-technical founders can prototype, automate, and operate in ways that used to require a whole team. The gap between having an idea and having a working product has never been smaller.

But most of what's written about AI is either hype or tool lists. The people who benefit most won't be the ones with the most tools. They'll be the ones who think clearly about where leverage actually comes from.

The Leveraged Mind is where I work through that in public.

What you'll get

• Build: hands-on guides to the tools, workflows, and techniques that actually work, tested on real projects.

• Operate: strategy for running and scaling a company now that AI changes what a small team can do.

• Field Notes: what I'm building and learning in public, including the experiments that didn't work.

It's written for founders and builders on both sides of the stack: if you write code, you'll get depth; if you don't, you'll get clarity without the jargon.

Who I am

I'm Alexey Indeev, co-founder and CTO of Spare. I've spent the last 11 years building it, from the first line of code to a post-Series B company. Along the way I've learned that the biggest results rarely come from working harder. They come from the right systems, the right team, and the right tools. AI is the biggest shift in leverage I've seen in my career, and I want to help other builders use it well.
