Support for Founders
By Founders Who’ve Done It
We advise post-PMF founders navigating one of the hardest inflection points in the startup journey. We've been in the seat. Now we sit next to you — with strategic expertise and hands-on operational support.
Who We Are
Clifftop Partners works with founders who have found product-market fit and are navigating the road from Seed through Series A — raising capital, building the team, and scaling what's working.
We've done it ourselves. Together, we built and scaled Policygenius from zero to 700+ employees, raised over $250M, and navigated a successful exit in 2023. We know what it takes to get from traction to growth — and what breaks if you don't build the right way.
We're hands-on. Outcome-focused. Fiercely aligned.

Work With Us
We are advisors — founders who've built and scaled companies, now working alongside the next generation doing the same.
Founders: If you've found product-market fit and are preparing to raise your Series A — or have recently closed it and are building the team and systems to scale — we'd love to hear from you.
Funds: If you have early-stage portfolio companies that would benefit from advisor-level support from operators who've been there, let's talk.
We take on a small number of clients at a time, by design. You get us — not a junior team — and we go deep.
