โ Partnerships & sponsorships ยท by application
Reach serious professionals who buy tools for real work.
The Leverage Years serves lawyers, wealth advisors, CPAs, consultants, founders, and senior executives who are trying to use AI without putting judgment, reputation, client trust, or confidentiality at risk. This is not a general AI audience.
Our readers and members are experienced professionals who care about practical utility, compliance, discretion, and measurable time savings. They are not looking for tricks. They are looking for tools, systems, and partners that survive contact with real client work.
We partner selectively with companies that help credentialed professionals work better, faster, and more safely โ software platforms, research tools, workflow products, compliance solutions, education partners, financial services, professional services, and premium business tools.
We do not feature products we would not be comfortable putting in front of someone with a license, a client file, and a reputation to protect.
The gatekeeper clause
If your product does not survive contact with real client work, it will not be featured here.
To inquire about a partnership, tell us who you serve, what problem you solve, and why your product belongs in front of our audience.
Most brands that fit get a yes. Most brands that do not fit get a polite no within a week.

06Frequently asked
Common questions.
- Who is a typical sponsor?
- Premium financial services, wealth platforms, family-office software, executive coaching firms, legal-tech for senior practice, premium hospitality, fine spirits, watch and travel brands, advisory tools, and serious AI tooling. If you sell something a senior partner or a board member would actually use, you are likely a fit.
- Can we get an exclusive in our category?
- Sometimes, yes. The Leverage Club partner of the quarter is exclusive by definition. For The Letter, we limit to one presenting partner at a time. For other surfaces, we generally hold one or two partners per category.
- What is the lead time?
- Typically two to four weeks from first note to first placement. Live sessions and dinners are usually six to eight weeks out, by design.
- How are placements written?
- By us, in our voice, with input from your team. We never run pre-written ad copy. The reason senior people read the Sunday letter is that it sounds like a letter, and we keep it that way.
- What about ROI tracking?
- We share open rates, click rates, and direct attribution numbers monthly. We will also tell you when those numbers do not tell the right story, the Club, for example, is built around senior trust, not click-throughs.
- How does this work with The Leverage Club specifically?
- One Club partner per quarter, by application. The partner shows up in 12 Weekly Briefing, contributes one members-only resource page to the Vault (we co-design), and co-hosts one live working session. We protect the room above everything; the partnership has to make the room better, not louder.
- Who do we contact?
- Send a short note to sponsor@theleveragedyears.com or use the apply form below. You will hear back within five business days, either way.
