Safeguard Scientifics is a publicly traded holding company and growth capital provider founded in 1953 and headquartered in Radnor, Pennsylvania. Historically, it provided capital and operational support to early- and growth-stage technology-driven businesses in healthcare, financial services, and digital media, targeting companies capitalizing on enabling technologies such as AI, predictive analytics, and the Internet of Everything. Safeguard typically deployed between $5 million and $25 million over the lifecycle of a partnership, initially investing at Series A or B and opportunistically at Seed, generally taking a primary ownership position and providing hands-on strategic, operational, and board-level support. As of 2018, Safeguard ceased deploying capital into new partner companies and shifted to a focused portfolio monetization strategy aimed at maximizing and returning value to shareholders.
