Why Summit?

How I ended up building a web framework and loving it.

I began my journey into creating Summit with no intention of developing a no-code platform. Instead, my goal in early 2016 was to give operators — early-stage founders, a new way to play with and generate financial models of all things.

Over the last 8 years, Summit has evolved from a single Python script on my laptop to a primitive language to a platform, and users of Summit have come from all walks of life, from finance to engineering to product to operations. Many have also shared their feedback on how to make Summit better, having fallen out of love with their existing way of making an app, a calculation, an automation, or an integration.

If you've ever worked with a no-code platform, hit a ceiling, then wished you could break free of that limitation and do more, Summit is for you.

I look forward to seeing what you can do with it.
