Paul Allen
Paul Allen is a familiar name to most Americans. In 1975, Paul Allen and Bill Gates co-founded Microsoft, the computer software company that soon became the worldwide leader in PC operating systems and desktop software. While Allen is no longer involved in the day-to-day management of Microsoft, he retains his seat on the Microsoft board and remains the company's second largest stockholder.

Today Paul Allen continues to pursue his vision of a Wired World™ through investments in dozens of hand-picked, independent companies. Some of these companies, like Charter Communications, are rapidly building out the high-bandwidth infrastructure critical to the delivery of digital services. Other Paul Allen companies are creating the content for the emerging Wired World. Taken in combination, Allen's investments are destined to produce significant benefits for consumers and businesses alike.
