Taking Technology Forward
The growth of technology stands to have a far-reaching impact on virtually every aspect of our professional and personal lives. Safeguard seeks to partner with growth-stage, entrepreneurial companies that have a competitive advantage, can harness the power of technology and extract its practical value.
The technology companies we target are primarily in three vertical markets:
- Financial services,
- Healthcare/Life sciences
- Supply chain/logistics.
The segments that appear most able to provide the necessary solutions for those markets include:
- Analytics / Business Intelligence,
- Enterprise Applications
- Infrastructure / Security / Communication
The business models Safeguard finds most attractive are:
- Software as a Service (SaaS)
- Technology Enabled Services
- Internet-based Businesses
These models provide recurring revenue and open markets by making technology available to a wider group of potential customers, ultimately driving long-term value creation.
