Striker is focused on making platform investments via growth equity and buyout transactions in niche businesses that are economically attractive on a stand-alone basis, and can benefit from access to the operating expertise, synergies, and substantial industry resources of Striker and the Graham Group. Striker seeks to invest between $5 and $15 million in proprietary growth companies with an emphasis on control investments. Larger direct equity investments can be considered via partnership with other Graham-related investment entities. Striker will evaluate opportunities from most growth-oriented industries, including opportunities within its current portfolio company markets.

WHY STRIKER?

Striker’s unique position as a Graham-sponsored investment firm offers portfolio companies the benefits of both a strategic and a financial investor:

• Flexible Capital. Striker is a Graham-sponsored private investment firm, not a traditional investment fund with capital raised from limited partners who typically seek a 3-5 year timeframe for exit. Striker is funded exclusively by Graham family capital enabling owner/operators to have a single partner with the flexibility to buy and hold-or if the external market dictates, pursue an aggressive liquidity strategy.
• Family Business Perspective. As family businesses, Striker and its Graham Group affiliates understand and are sensitive to the complexities associated with human resource, tax, accounting, and other family related issues prevalent during periods of ownership transition. Striker appreciates the tremendous value of building a winning culture and seeks to preserve and enhance our partners' strengths.
• Access to Capital and Staying Power. As an affiliate of the $3 billion Graham Group, Striker has access to the capital necessary to support a company throughout its entire lifecycle. Striker’s strong financial foundation enables owner/operators to expedite growth strategies without taking on undue risks to their personal liquidity.
• Strategic Resources. As part of the global Graham Group network, Striker can access a stable of seasoned, highly qualified operating partners with tremendous hands on operating experience to help develop strategic focus.
