Built for Founders —

By Founders Who’ve Done It

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 is a founder-led advisory firm built to give founders the leverage, clarity, and strategic support you can only get from someone who’s been in the founder’s seat.

We bring hard-won experience from years in the arena — scaling, hiring, firing, fundraising, re-orging, and exiting. And we bring the pattern recognition and execution chops to help you get where you’re going faster, with less friction and fewer regrets.

We’re hands-on. Outcome-focused. Fiercely aligned.

This is strategy and execution support from people who’ve actually done it — not just talked about it.

What We Can Do

Hands-on, strategic and tactical support from proven, exited founders.

There are lots of consultants out there — but very few who’ve actually sat in the founder seat at scale and still want to roll up their sleeves.

    • Company strategy and growth planning

    • Scale-specific operating systems and processes

    • Distribution & GTM motions; sales funnel optimization 

    • Product & biz model reviews; ops workflow design

    • Pitch narrative and deck development

    • Round strategy and prep

    • Investor pipeline review, introductions and SPV support

    • M&A and IPO readiness and exit planning

    • Org design and leadership structure

    • Full talent lifecycle management, including recruiting

    • Role definition and leveling; comp & incentive structures

    • Team performance calibration and succession planning

    • Decision-making & communications support

    • Professional and personal coaching

    • Navigating team or board dynamics

    • Change management support (e.g., RIF, reorgs, exec turnover)

Work With Us

We’re open, but selective.

We take on a limited number of clients each year.

That’s how we go deep, build trust, and deliver outcomes that matter.

If you’re a founder navigating growth, challenge, or change — or an investor working with founders — we’d love to hear from you.

This isn’t parachute consulting. This is real partnership — sleeves up, priorities clarified, outcomes delivered.
