Industry
Competition
We may compete with our shareholders and Partner Companies for Internet-related opportunities. After this offering, Comcast Corporation, Compaq Computer Corporation, General Electric Capital Corporation and Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. will beneficially own x % of our common stock, respectively. These shareholders may compete with us to acquire interests in B2B e-commerce companies. Comcast Corporation, General Electric Capital Corporation and Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. currently each have a designee as a member of our board of directors, which may give such companies access to our business plan and potential acquisitions. In addition, we may compete with our Partner Companies to acquire interests in B2B e-commerce companies, and our Partner Companies may compete with each other for acquisitions or other B2B e-commerce opportunities. In particular, VerticalNet seeks to expand, in part through acquisition, its number of B2B communities. VerticalNet, therefore, may seek to acquire companies that we would find attractive. While we may partner with VerticalNet on future acquisitions, we have no current contractual obligations to do so. We do not have any contracts or other understandings with our shareholders or Partner Companies that would govern the resolution of these potential conflicts. Such competition, and the complications posed by the designated directors, may deter companies from partnering with us and may limit our business opportunities.
Business
Plan
Our operating strategy is to integrate our Partner Companies into a collaborative network that leverages our collective knowledge and resources. Acting as a long-term partner, we use these collective resources to actively develop the business strategies, operations and management teams of our Partner Companies. Our resources include the experience, industry relationships and specific expertise of our management team, our Partner Companies and our Advisory Board. Currently, our Advisory Board consists of individuals with executive-level experience in general management, sales and marketing and information technology at such leading companies as Cisco Systems, Coca-Cola Company, Exodus Communications, IBM, MasterCard, Merrill Lynch and Microsoft. We believe that building successful B2B e-commerce companies enhances the ability of our collaborative network to facilitate innovation and growth among our Partner Companies.
