Sommet PrivéAbout Us
A new firm built on old principles — patient capital, operating discipline, and alignment in every structure.
Sommet Privé is an independent private equity firm, founded in the San Francisco Bay Area on the conviction that patient capital and operating discipline compound better together.
An Owner's Mindset,
An Operator's Toolkit
We built Sommet Privé the way we would build a company: a focused mandate, a small team of operators and investors, and alignment written into every structure.

Headquarters
Our mission is to build enduring companies with the founders who started them — patiently, privately, and with the discipline their life's work deserves.
The principles that govern every dollar we deploy and every board seat we hold.
Downside First
Every investment is priced off the bad year, not the base case. Capital preservation isn't a constraint on returns — over cycles, it is the return.
Alignment
Our own capital is committed in every transaction, and management teams share in what they build. Nobody at the table wins unless everyone does.
Discretion
We work quietly, close privately, and let the work speak. Founders trust us with successions because we treat their companies as they would.
