Path to Growth by a College Entrepreneur, Motivated

"Three or four years ago, I got smart after I realized how much I don't know," says Larry Halpern, president of Safe Systems, Louisville, Colo. With 28 years of experience as president of a privately held, locally owned Colorado alarm company, Halpern discusses with SDM e-News the importance of realizing one's limitations in order to grow.
Halpern founded Safe Systems in 1982 while studying business administration at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Six years later, the company was SDM's 1988 Dealer of the Year in the up to $1 million category. "It was really exciting," Halpern says. "We were small at the time in Boulder, Colo. You might not have heard of Boulder at the time. It gave us such momentum." In that article, Halpern recalls, Safe Systems' growth was largely attributed to its work with fire alarms. "We're always looking for new technologies and better ways to serve customers and bring it to that next level. We started getting rid of phone lines shortly after that article; started working with radio. We're on the leading edge but not in the bleeding edge of technology."
This year, Safe Systems was ranked No. 73 on the SDM 100 and Halpern says the goal is for the company to keep working its way up the report. One of the biggest accomplishments for the company since receiving the Dealer of the Year award was becoming a part of Security Network of America (SNA).
