Striker Partners manages Graham family private equity investments from its base in Wayne, Pennsylvania.
Striker Partners
Striker Partners was established in 1999 by Richard Graham. The firm manages private equity capital for the Graham family, whose wealth traces to Donald C. Graham’s founding of The Graham Group in 1960 and subsequent machinery and packaging operations. The firm pursues control-oriented buyouts, add-ons, and recapitalizations. It concentrates on profitable lower-middle-market businesses in business services, healthcare, sports, and media. Geographic reach centers on North America with additional exposure through sector networks in Europe. Investment structures favor direct majority positions rather than fund commitments. Team size and AUM remain undisclosed. Additional offices are not publicly listed. Donald Graham maintained memberships in YPO, Chief Executives Organization, and World Business Council. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. The firm operates as the dedicated private equity arm of a single family, with investment decisions tied directly to Graham family principals and an internal investment committee that includes Steven Graham.
