We’ve launched a new weekly video series to accompany Morning Coffee, in which we look at one story in more depth to give you the full picture.
Although the most commonly known route into private equity is to join through an investment bank (or via a private equity graduate scheme), there are other paths you might not have known. Bakari Akil, who was homeless in 2015, has turned his fortunes around by founding his own firm. Aged 37, he now lives lavishly.
How different was his path to that of the average private equity graduate hire? Find out by watching The Coffee Run.
