What you likely need
You're a serial founder with YC S24 credentials and strong ML/AI engineering depth, currently building Cliff in the hot data center infrastructure space. Your biggest near-term opportunity is converting your technical credibility and YC network into a seed round for Cliff before the data center AI wave peaks. Establishing a clearer public signal around Cliff's traction will accelerate both fundraising and hiring.
Are these your current priorities?
We will tune and customize your Founder Festival experience to make sure you get invited to the events that would be most valuable to you.
- fundraisingLeverage your YC S24 alumni status and the current data center AI tailwind to run a focused seed raise for Cliff — YC partners and the alumni network are your warmest path to a $2–4M round.
- positioningPublish a detailed technical post or case study on Cliff's predevelopment platform to differentiate from generic 'AI for real estate' narratives and attract data center developer customers directly.
- introsTap the YC S24 batch and alumni Slack to get warm introductions to data center developers, hyperscaler procurement teams, and infrastructure-focused VCs like Lux Capital or Congruent Ventures.
- hiringRecruit a second technical co-founder or senior ML engineer for Cliff through the YC talent network — your solo-founder status at Cliff is a risk flag for investors and a bottleneck for shipping.
- tacticalDocument and publicize the $500k+ revenue milestone from Modern Realty as a proof-of-execution signal in your Cliff pitch deck — it directly counters first-time-founder risk perception.
- positioningOpen-source a small utility or dataset related to Cliff's power-access or permitting data pipeline to build developer credibility and inbound interest in the data center predevelopment space.
- wellbeingYou currently list both Cliff and Raysurfer as active companies — consider formally sunsetting or handing off Raysurfer to avoid investor concern about divided focus during Cliff's critical early stage.
