Safeguard Scientifics Inc's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
We face intense competition from other companies that acquire or provide capital
to healthcare and technology businesses. Competitors include venture capital and,
occasionally, private equity investors, as well as companies seeking to make strategic
acquisitions. Many providers of growth capital also offer strategic guidance,
networking access for recruiting and general advice. Nonetheless, we believe we
are an attractive capital provider to potential partner companies because our
strategy and capabilities offer:
responsive operational assistance, including strategy design and execution, business
development, corporate development, sales, marketing, finance, risk management,
talent recruitment and legal support;
the flexibility to structure transactions, with or without debt;
occasional liquidity opportunities for founders and existing investors;
a focus on maximizing risk-adjusted value growth, rather than absolute value growth
within a narrow or predetermined time frame;
interim C-level management support, as needed; and
opportunities to leverage Safeguard’s balance sheet for borrowing and stability.
