A growth-capital firm and holding company that backs young technology and healthcare businesses, lending them not just funding but hands-on help with management, strategy, and operations. It began in 1953 as the Lancaster Company, founded by Warren Musser and Frank Diamond to invest in small firms. The name came from an early star investment, Safeguard Industries, whose check-protecting machines punched dollar amounts into paper to "safeguard" checks—so successful it became the parent's namesake in 1981. Its early stake in a Tupelo cable venture was later sold to Ralph Roberts, who grew it into Comcast.
Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. † Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over the last 5 years: +443.7K shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
