What Riviera Partners’s tier placings mean
On “Which search firms work with venture-backed startups?”, Riviera Partners sits in tier 1 of 3, named in 81 of 235 responses (34.5%). Tier 1 does not mean it was ranked first.

Riviera Partners shares tier 1 with True, Daversa Partners and Dave Partners, and the order they are listed in is arbitrary. 6 further firms were named on this question but fell into lower tiers, meaning the sample did separate Riviera Partners from them.

That places it below the leading group on this question, where the top firm was named in 90.2% of responses against Riviera Partners’s 17.0%.
