We can engage directly with a founder or with an investment fund to flexibly support their portfolio

Two Ways We Work

Our Engagement Models

Direct Engagement With Founder

We work directly with founders and structure an engagement tailored to their needs

  • Structured intake call with the founder to understand the context of their company, what’s keeping them up at night, and how they like to work 

  • Alignment on a scope of work, including deliverables, estimated hours, and length of engagement

  • Engagement can include: calls or async comms; work product creation/review; engaging with employees or external parties

Portfolio Support

Acting as a flexible extension of a fund’s platform or operations team, we offer a retainer model designed for flexibility

  • Fund retains Clifftop Partners for a set number of hours/month

  • Allocate hours across portfolio companies as needed

  • Founders can flexibly augment exec team with real operators

  • Optional strategic intensives or executive search add-ons
