## Resource

My guest today is Steve Cundari, co-founder and partner of Summit House, an award-winning venture studio that's quietly become a growth engine for some of the most recognizable brands on the planet. Steve is a builder in the purest sense. He's founded companies, exited companies, scaled platforms, and now leads a collective of specialized agencies that operate as one integrated ecosystem, blending strategy, creativity, and innovation into real business momentum. From entertainment and tech to sports, hospitality and consumer brands, his fingerprints are all over modern marketing at scale, and that is not hyperbole. Under Steve's leadership, Summit House has earned top industry honors including Clio's, Emmy's and Film Festival Awards while supporting brands like Spotify, DirecTV, Live Golf, Starbucks, Dick's Sporting Goods, the NBA, NFL, Meta, Nintendo and more! He's also an active advisor and investor in early-stage companies and venture funds, extending his obsession with building and scaling far beyond a single platform.
