Sopris Capital was established in 2002 as a vehicle to invest the capital of Andrew Paul and other partners in exceptional growth companies. Sopris is not a fund in a traditional sense and therefore maintains the flexibility to invest in a wider range of industry groups, company sizes and stages, and types of securities. Investment Criteria Sopris Capital invests opportunistically in small, emerging companies. We generally invest between $1 million and $5 million in the equity of companies that have proven products, market acceptance and a management team that can capitalize on the opportunity. A full list of these companies can be found in the Portfolio section. Sopris Capital is dedicated to helping talented management teams and entrepreneurs build value in their companies. The nature of our investments is driven by a focus on high growth companies with strong fundamentals and a unique market opportunity. We do not limit ourselves to a narrow set of investment criteria, but rather:
We take a Stage-diversified approach. We invest in exceptional companies by providing seed, early-stage and growth-stage capital to companies. Sopris is almost always the first institutional or professional investor in the companies we back, although second and later round investments are considered where there is demonstrated progress toward market leadership and a complete management team. We take a Sector-diversified approach. Our investments span a number of industry sectors. While we do have a strong penchant for companies in market sectors in which our investment team has specific expertise - the information technology, communications and healthcare markets - we view each company independently for the investment opportunity it presents. We take a Security-diversified approach. We generally invest in preferred equity of a company, but we are also creative in meeting the financial needs of the organization by investing in different tranches of equity, debt and hybrid securities.
