Experienced Partnership
We’re honored to have partnered with some of the world’s best entrepreneurs.
Summit Partners was founded in 1984 with a commitment to find and partner with exceptional entrepreneurs to help them accelerate their growth and achieve dramatic results.
Since then, Summit has become the investment partner of choice for many of the best growth companies in the world. We’ve grown to a team of more than 115 investments professionals, led by Managing Directors and Partners whose tenures average more than 16 years with Summit. We have the capital and team to support your growth initiatives.
Flexible Investment Approach
From venture capital to growth equity to fixed income, we can provide capital to fit all stages of your growth.
Our range of funds enables us to offer tailored options designed to support your company’s continued growth. Entrepreneurs and management teams use capital from Summit Partners for a variety of purposes—from growth and shareholder liquidity to recapitalizations and management buyouts—but always with the singular goal of success.
We are currently managing more than $35 billion in capital dedicated to growth equity, fixed income and public equity opportunities. Our target investment range is $10 million to more than $500 million. We are equally comfortable investing for minority or majority positions.

Investing Responsibly
At Summit Partners, we believe that effective corporate governance and a commitment to social and environmental responsibility are important components of our growth strategy. As growth focused investors, we recognize the importance of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in creating sustainable growth, and we seek to integrate the consideration of material ESG factors into our investment, portfolio company value creation and business management processes in an effort to build enduring value for the entrepreneurs and investors with whom we partner. We value leadership, integrity, initiative and creativity, and we seek to exercise these characteristics in every interaction, to build strong relationships and to effect change in the companies and communities in which we invest.
Growth Through Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
At Summit our focus is on growth: of our people, of our portfolio companies and of the teams with which we partner. We believe diverse teams create strong cultures and engaged employees, and we seek to celebrate and promote the positive impact diversity, equity and inclusion have on our investment process and outcomes.
We recognize the importance of and are committed to creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive, performance-driven environment purpose-built to generate the best ideas, fuel innovation and power the professional growth of a diverse employee base both within Summit and across our portfolio companies.
