Summit Investment Philosophy

We invest in growing, profitable, privately held


companies with proven business models, records of revenue and
earnings growth, and the leadership capable of sustaining that
growth. We bring value beyond financial expertise. Companies choose
Summit Partners because of our deep industry experience, our strong
business relationship network, and our strategic vision.

While we leave the day-to-day management of our portfolio companies
to the entrepreneurs and management teams, we are active board
members. We view ourselves as experienced advisors who partner with
companies to ensure continued growth and success.


There inlies your answer...They do nothing and offer nothing but more
access to financial opportunities..They don't know what goes on
because they are not truely involved..it's called plausible
deniability...They act as financial advisors...nothing more.
