Testimonials

What Our Partners Say

  • “Picking an investment partner is the most important thing a CEO or Founder can do. Sopris focuses on metrics and results, while understanding the importance of relationships. They get to know the management team and help drive success, including making introductions to key business partners. Their understanding of the healthcare ecosystem, connections in the market, and their knowledge of how to grow a company is invaluable.”
    Chris Cashwell, CEO, Azra AI
  • “I've worked with the Sopris team since 2004. The firm's commitment to solid values, and working with top-notch management teams has remained consistent. Everyone works constructively towards the same goal, where leadership's perspective is sought and valued. We have experienced significant exits underpinned by a culture of honesty, transparency, and directness, all aimed at the most successful outcome for clients, employees, and shareholders.”
    Bill Horne, CEO/Chairman, Quovant
  • “Following an exit, the question you should ask is, “would I want them as a partner again?” My answer with Sopris is “absolutely.” The time they invested to learn and understand our business and industry made them an invaluable partner. And the experience they brought to the table helped us streamline our accounting procedures, reducing our workload by 60% with far greater accuracy.”
    Todd Katler, Founder/CEO, Anyone Home
  • “The decision to take on a partner was not an easy one, however I knew I made the right decision when the distinction between our team and the Sopris team blurred. They proved that no one is as smart as everyone, and that collaboration can deliver extraordinary results when you have shared values and interests are aligned.”
    Ram Sharma, Founder/CEO, Analytical Wizards
  • “Sopris was our first believer, and the first money into Lucid. It's incredible to form such lasting bonds with an investor over a decade who has seen all the challenges of growth and execution. As a founder, I found their guidance and experience helpful all along the way to a $1B exit.”
    Patrick Comer, Founder/CEO, Lucid
  • “Sopris has provided us with everything we need to grow. The experience they bring to the table, has helped us close acquisitions and build an operations function that can scale as we add locations and staff. I’ve worked with other sponsors and can confidently say that Sopris is in a league of their own, because of the focus and flexibility a single LP fund provides.”
    David Martin, Founder/CEO, Superior Health Holdings, Inc.
  • “Sopris leadership has been extremely supportive and ensured that we have the capital we needed to secure and execute on large client opportunities. Their funding process is streamlined and straight-forward and we have grown exponentially with their support; it’s been a great partnership.”
    Tom Dorsett, Founder/CEO, RazorMetrics
