For the fourth consecutive year, Summit Park has been recognized to the Inc. Founder-Friendly Investors list. The annual list celebrates firms that are committed to supporting founder-led businesses and is designed to serve as a resource for founders to find reliable partners, whether they need venture capital, private equity, or debt.

Summit Park was built to help founders and management teams scale their businesses by providing the resources and collaboration to execute on a shared vision. The firm's history is rooted in trust, enduring relationships, and a shared vision to invest in great companies looking for a partner for their next phase of growth. Summit Park has an established track record of partnering with business owners. For two decades, our strategy has remained consistent and the importance of fostering a cohesive partnership and vision for growth remain foundational elements of how we do business.

To compile the list, Inc. contacted the entrepreneurs who have sold their businesses to private equity and venture capital firms. Founders shared their experiences on partnering with nominee firms as well as data on how the companies have grown during these partnerships.
