Skip the Startup / Buy a Business
Join us for breakfast and business strategy at Industrious.
In this talk, Cornell Business School lecturer and investor Bakari Akil breaks down how entrepreneurs are building wealth faster—not by starting companies, but by buying businesses that already work.
You'll learn how to:
– Find companies for sale
– Fund a deal without traditional capital
– Take ownership without starting from scratch
This session introduces a creative playbook for business ownership that works anywhere in the world.
Hosted at Industrious, the global workspace provider known for its exceptional service and highest customer satisfaction in the industry, with over 200 locations in NYC, London, Amsterdam, Singapore, Sydney, and more.
