Summit Partners

Summit Partners pools institutional and other eligible investor capital into closed-end private funds, then invests that capital into growth-stage and venture-backed companies. It creates value by sourcing deals, underwriting growth opportunities, supporting portfolio companies, and seeking exits through sales, recapitalisations, or public listings. Revenue is typically derived from recurring management fees on fund commitments and carried interest tied to investment performance.
