A family office,
for the long term.

Andy Paul founded Sopris Capital in 2002 in Aspen, as the principal investing vehicle that would carry forward what he had learned across the prior two decades.

He arrived at Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe in 1984, fresh out of Harvard Business School and a year at Hambrecht & Quist Venture Partners. Across sixteen years there, he served as a Managing General Partner on the Management Committee with joint responsibility for healthcare investing, sitting on the boards of eleven companies that completed public offerings. He left in 2000 to found Enhanced Capital Partners; co-founded Enhanced Healthcare Partners in 2005; and in 2002 began what would become today’s Sopris — a single source of permanent capital.

He lives in the Roaring Fork Valley with his wife Margaret. They have four grown children, three of whom are actively involved in Sopris and integral to the firm’s succession plan.
