Summer Carter | Founder
summer@solunaspartners.com
From watching her father pursue entrepreneurship as a young girl to developing innovative financial products at major institutions, Summer has always been driven by an excitement for entrepreneurship. Her goal is to leverage her broad experiences in finance and technology to build a high-quality business through a search fund.
Summer has always been motivated by collaborating towards a shared, impactful vision. At Goldman Sachs, she managed the development and launch of a number of products including an electronic trading platform. At JP Morgan, she played a key role in starting a digital network connecting startups and investors. These experiences have equipped her with the skills to create sustainable processes and systems that enhance efficiency. Her leadership approach centers around humanity, the ability to connect with lots of different kinds of people and a focus on getting to the best possible solution vs. being right.
Outside of her professional life, Summer enjoys DJing, cooking Chinese food, exploring new restaurants, and learning new skills—she is currently focused on improving her golf game.
Summer holds an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business, with a focus on entrepreneurship and managing small-and mid-sized businesses. She earned her B.A. from Harvard College, where she met her business partner, Niyat.
