A Holding Company Built for the Long Term
Graham Holdings Group acquires and operates businesses with a focus on quality, people, and patient growth.
Graham Holdings Group is a privately-owned holding company. We acquire, build, and operate companies that deliver exceptional products and services — and we hold them for the long term.
We believe the best businesses are built by people who care, supported by owners who give them room to do their best work. Our role is to back great operators with the capital, structure, and time horizon they need to grow something meaningful.
Today, our portfolio includes NorthStar Cleaning, a professional cleaning services company. Over time, we plan to add more businesses to the Graham Holdings family — always with the same standard: quality first, people first, built to last.
Our Values
The principles we use to evaluate every opportunity and run every company.
People First
The teams inside our companies are the reason they succeed. We invest in operators, employees, and customers — in that order, every time.
Long-Term Thinking
We don't buy to flip. We buy to own, improve, and grow over decades — making decisions that compound.
Quality Over Quantity
We'd rather own a few exceptional businesses than many mediocre ones. Every company in our portfolio has to clear a high bar.
Operator-Led
Great operators run great businesses. We support them with capital, infrastructure, and patience — and stay out of the way.
Steady Growth
Sustainable, profitable growth beats hype every time. We build companies that can stand on their own and weather any cycle.
Built to Last
We're building Graham Holdings Group to outlive any single business or trend. Durability is the goal.
