Summit Partners

In 1984, we started Summit Partners with a vision of helping profitable companies realize their full growth potential. As a fast-growing company, we learned firsthand about the value of hard work and innovation, striving against odds and following a dream. Today, we are a leader in growth equity for rapidly growing companies. Our investment team is one of the largest and most experienced in the business. We employ more than 80 investment professionals across our three offices in Boston, Palo Alto and London. In total, we employ more than 150 people.

Since our founding in 1984, Summit Partners has raised more than $11 billion in growth capital, and has invested in more than 330 growing businesses across North America, Europe and Asia. These companies have completed 125 public offerings and more than 130 strategic sales or mergers.

Whether we take a minority or majority ownership position, our approach is the same. We view ourselves as a growth investor that provides strategic and operational guidance to help proven, existing management teams reach their companies' full potential.

Summit Partners has built an extensive record of helping entrepreneurs identify and execute expansion strategies that build long-term value. Our senior investment professionals serve on the boards of directors and assist the management teams of our portfolio companies, providing them with direct points of access to our entire firm.
