What are Leveraged and Shared Assets?

“Leveraged and shared assets” is the practice of renting or sharing assets—even those that are mission-critical—to allow an organization to stay nimble and unencumbered, to begin rapidly, and to scale with minimum friction. Ideally, LSA also lowers the marginal cost of supply—to virtually zero in the case of a highly scaled model. By not owning physical or digital property, an ExO can remove the costs associated with managing that property, along with all related infrastructure costs.
