Building the most trusted way to buy and sell internet businesses
Summit AI was founded in Toronto in 2019 with a simple belief: acquiring a great online business should be as transparent and data-driven as buying a public stock.

Founded in Toronto
From a Toronto apartment to a global marketplace
Our founders spent years buying and selling online businesses the hard way — through spreadsheets, brokers, and blind trust. Deals fell through, financials were murky, and valuations felt like guesswork. They knew there had to be a better way.
In 2019, from a small office in downtown Toronto, they set out to build it: a marketplace where financials are verified, valuations are powered by real transaction data, and funds move safely through escrow. Today, Summit AI has facilitated over $115M in deal volume and connects 1,200+ vetted buyers with vetted businesses around the world.
We're still headquartered in Toronto, Canada, and still driven by the same belief: entrepreneurship should be liquid, transparent, and open to everyone.
