About Summit Partners Base Camp

A meaningful seat
at the table

Most builders spend years waiting for real ownership. The Summit Partners Base Camp AI Builders-in-Residence program allows you to skip that line. From month one, you will work directly with Summit's investment team and Peak Performance Group to build AI tools that matter.

Summit Partners is a leading growth equity firm that has backed 550+ growth-stage companies across technology, healthcare, financial and business services, consumer, industrial technology and other growth sectors over more than four decades. That breadth gives builders exposure to a wide range of industries, market pain points, growth challenges and opportunities for innovation. You will join a team of dedicated AI, technology and data science professionals, helping to extend their impact across the firm and our portfolio companies.

Who we're looking for

Exceptional coders who think
in systems

First and foremost, we are looking for the best coders. Beyond technical skill, we want people who are curious about how businesses work, comfortable with ambiguity and eager to see their work used in the real world. Summit Partners Base Camp is a fit if you've already shipped something real with AI and want to do it full time inside an organization where the work will have immediate business impact.
