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 partners with entrepreneurial technology companies that drive top-line growth, realize cost efficiencies and leverage innovation to open new markets.
Although the technology marketplace continues to mature, it is still changing rapidly. Business models and technology platforms are evolving — traditional marketing efforts have yielded to email and web-based lead-generation programs, while the perpetual software license model is giving way to subscription-based and on-demand licensing. There is an explosion of data from transactional systems that is enabling new waves of operational analytics. The increasing availability of data across companies is fueling the growth of inter-company applications and services. And a pervasive connectivity will soon yield new applications in consumer and business payments, outcome-driven healthcare, closed-loop marketing and better customer support.
Safeguard partners with growth-stage, entrepreneurial technology companies whose competitive advantage in a market represents a sizable opportunity. We look for strong management teams in companies that address key themes throughout our target markets, including:
- Internet / New Media,
- Financial Services IT and
- Healthcare IT.
