Summit Partners

Was hoping to hear the latest on Summit Partners as much of the info on the forum is dated.


Most interested in comp / culture & WLB / firm strategy / and fund performance. Aware that it's sourcing heavy so not looking to dive into that since it's covered extensively in a separate thread. Thanks!

Speaking anecdotally based on the few people I know here/who recruited for GE, Summit just isn’t known for the best associate program. It’s known as a hard climb to VP and more sourcing heavy vs other top GE shops (insight / GA etc), and believe pay is a bit less too. Everyone I know who recruited for GE prioritized other places above Summit

 

What would the VP role there be like from someone coming post MBA after UMM/MF?

I hear they still (in 2023!) do unbanked deals lol 

hit me with two of those, take my 5x, never look back 

They do unbanked deals b/c they hire a bunch of college interns and cheap junior talent to scour the Earth and harrass business owners to take meetings. Eventually, even a small % pay off and if you have enough meetings, you can make a living off of it.

I've always found them to be flakey in processes.
