Unlocking opportunities for high-growth innovation.
OUR ORIGIN STORY
How it all started:
Founders Policy Group is a business strategy and government affairs consulting firm designing custom, enduring strategies for breakthrough tech. Built upon unrivaled foresight, thoughtful solutions, and a steadfast resolve to live and breathe the growth of our clients, we accelerate growth for cutting-edge startups and investment firms.
We launched Founders Policy Group to meet a unique moment in our nation’s history—a moment where technology and energy are colliding. Flipping the old lobbying model on its head, we act as strategic counsel to game-changing tech, blending public policy and advocacy, growth strategy, political intelligence, strategic messaging, and risk mitigation. We proudly represent companies building genius solutions to very real problems—those that policymakers are deliberately trying to solve. Always looking 5–10 years into the future, we design durable solutions that withstand even the most turbulent changes in politics.
Established in 2026, Founders Policy Group merged The Ledyard Group and 38 North, recognized as a Top-Performing Lobbying Firm by Bloomberg. Led by two founders named as DC’s Most Influential People across energy and tech, we support the brightest minds solving today’s most pressing issues. Operating with the highest ethical standards, we build decades-long, across-the-aisle relationships, always coming to the table in good faith. Leading with honesty, transparency, and unparalleled commitment, we bring a long-vision playbook to game-changing tech.

What we value
What we bring to every client relationship:
Play the long game
We’re not here to create a two-year success story. We build durable solutions that scale your company for the next decade-plus.
Roll up our sleeves
We become fully integrated into the growth of our clients, operating with a level of personal attention that stands unrivaled in the industry.
Be a gamechanger
Just as our clients transform industries, we aim to toss-out the old policy playbook, building custom strategies for every client relationship.
Launch a two-pronged approach
We believe public policy and business strategy must coincide, and the success of our clients depends on solutions that consider both.
