The Safeguard Difference
Safeguard’s status as a publicly-traded company enables us to be a patient partner. We are not subject to the limits of a three-to-five year fundraising cycle (typical with venture capital or buyout firms), enabling us to focus on growing our partner companies’ value at an appropriate pace. In addition, gains from sales of partner companies are sheltered from taxes by our net operating losses and are evergreened on our balance sheet, making us self-funding. Our expertise and leadership help accelerate growth, build long-term value and enable business transformation for each of our partner companies.
