    We’re honored to be named to Inc. Magazine's 2024 Founder-Friendly Investors list, and we’re grateful to the founders and executive teams who have trusted us – and worked alongside us – as their partner in growth. For over 40 years, Summit has had the privilege of collaborating with hundreds of executives and management teams – partnering with more than 90 founder-led companies in the last five years alone. This experience has fostered a deep appreciation for the courage and vision required to start a business, and the tenacity and talent needed to grow it profitably. We are proud to support these growth journeys – and we look forward to many more. #TheSummitPartnersNetwork #growth #founders Award selections are determined based on Inc.’s evaluation of each nominated private equity, venture capital and debt firm’s ability to remain actively involved with the businesses they invest in and earn the trust of the entrepreneurs they support to help drive growth. To compile the list, Inc. spoke directly with entrepreneurs who have sold to private equity, venture capital and debt firms. Entrepreneurs filled out a questionnaire about their experiences partnering with private equity, venture capital, and debt firms and shared data on how their portfolio companies have grown during these partnerships. To view the full list of honorees and read more about the selection methodology, visit Inc.’s website. This award is the opinion of the party conferring the award and not of Summit Partners. The 2024 list of Founder-Friendly Investors, issued by Inc. on October 29, 2024, was based on the time period January 2019 through May 2024. Summit Partners submitted a nomination and paid a fee to submit a nomination to Inc.
