What is the Ownership Class?
The Ownership Class is a full-year program designed to help you acquire your first profitable business—with support, funding access, and expert guidance every step of the way.
Your next move isn’t building from scratch — it’s owning a profitable business right now. Most startups fail because of endless trial and error, no clear customers, no revenue, and no clue what works.
Most people think entrepreneurship starts with a risky idea, zero profits, and years of grind. But what if you could skip the startup struggle and buy a business that’s already profitable?

Who teaches The Ownership Class?
The Ownership Class is created and led by Bakari Akil, founder of Graves Hall Capital and one of the most respected voices in the search fund and business acquisition space.
Bakari has helped oversee over $30 million in small business acquisitions—from manufacturing to services to healthcare. He’s walked the path himself, raised capital, negotiated deals, and built businesses from the inside out. Now, he’s pulling back the curtain so you can do the same.
His mission? To make business ownership accessible to ambitious professionals around the world—not just private equity insiders or MBA grads.
Through The Ownership Class, Bakari shares the exact tools, strategies, and mindset shifts that have helped his students go from dreamers to dealmakers—many closing their first acquisition within months.
You’ll also learn from a rotating lineup of guest experts, capital partners, and acquisition advisors, so you always have guidance from those who’ve been in the trenches.
