Summit Strategy Named a 2026 Inc. Power Partner Award Winner for the Third Year in a Row

Win studio adds a third straight Power Partner honor to its first-ever Inc. 5000 ranking in a breakout 2026.

MISSION VIEJO, Calif. (October 20, 2026) – Summit Strategy, the win studio behind some of the fastest-growing GovCon, AEC, and professional services firms, has been named a 2026 Inc.Power Partner Award winner. This marks the firm’s third consecutive year on the list, which recognizes the leading B2B partners supporting entrepreneurs and businesses across the country.

The annual Inc. Power Partner Awards honor B2B companies that have demonstrated a track record of helping entrepreneurs and businesses navigate the challenges of building and growing a company. From hiring and compliance to technology, infrastructure, fundraising, marketing, and more, these partners provide expertise and services that enable businesses to operate, scale, and pursue their ambitions.

“Business owners have no shortage of tools at their disposal, and B2B companies need to make clear why their products and services are worth the investment,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “The companies on this year’s Power Partners list have done just that. Theydon’t just have customers – they have super fans and evangelists. Across industries like marketing, financial services, and technology, they’ve proved their dedication to helping fellow business owners grow and succeed.”

“Power Partner is the award I care about most because it comes straight from our clients,” said Krystn Macomber, Founder + CEO of Summit Strategy. “Three years in a row tells me the results are holding up long after the engagement ends. Put that next to the Inc. 5000 and 2026tells a pretty clear story… the Summit Win System™ works for our clients, and it works for us.”

Summit Strategy was recognized for helping government contractors, AEC firms, and professional services companies replace reactive business development with a repeatable path to more wins. Since launching in April 2021, the firm has grown from a solo proposal shop into a full-service win studio with a 30+ person practitioner team, more than 250 clients nationwide, and a client Net Promoter Score of 87.5, a rating considered world-class.

The honor caps a milestone year. In August, Summit Strategy earned its first-ever spot on the 2026 Inc. 5000, ranking No. 2,582 overall and No. 86 among Government Services companies, with three-year revenue growth of 114%. Macomber and the Summit team celebrated alongside fellow honorees at the Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala in Dallas earlier this month.

At the center of that growth is the Summit Win System, the proprietary framework that powers every Summit engagement and training program. Its five peaks (Plan, Position, Propose,Persuade, and Propel) connect business development, capture, proposals, marketing, and training into one integrated growth engine. In client engagements, Summit’s practitioners do the work, shaping win strategies, building pursuit processes, and writing proposals side by side with client teams. Through the Summit Win Academy™ and Climb Sessions™, Summit also trains those teams to run the system themselves, with more than 50,000 professionals trained to date.
