4.9 rating·3051 downloads

Aaron Levie built products and companies by reasoning from first principles in industries that the incumbents considered mature. Aaron Levie's product and strategy thinking — captured in this framework as mental models, decision heuristics, and the signature questions they would ask. The enterprise distribution & big bets framework distils Aaron Levie's documented approach into a .md skill file you can load into Claude, ChatGPT, or any LLM in seconds. Where most AI personas generate generic output, this framework is grounded in real documented work: interviews, writing, published frameworks, and the specific decisions Aaron Levie made when it mattered. Use it for decision-making, writing, strategy, or any situation where you want your AI to think with Aaron Levie's distinctive patterns rather than a default model voice.

Inside the framework

A glimpse of Aaron Levie's thinking.

Core Philosophy

The biggest enterprise opportunities hide behind the question "why now?" — new technology capabilities create brief windows where incumbents can't respond fast enough. Win by being the infrastructure that other companies build on top of, not just another tool they use.
