Job Title:
Private Equity Associate
Description:
This is an unpaid internship. I have revised the job posting (read below). If you are still interested in
applying, shoot me a note.
Private Equity Internship
compensation: Unpaid internship
We are looking for 3 interns to work with us to help us with proprietary deal sourcing (read below for a full description of what that involves).
The way in which we source investments is very similar to a traditional private equity firm, and this internship will therefore give you a useful set
of skills if exploring a career path in private equity, investment banking or consulting. In return for unpaid work, and because we are a small
firm, we will give you additional responsibility you wouldn't get at a large firm (if we can delegate to you, we will), opportunities to learn new
5
skills, and letters of recommendation as well as introductions to our vast network of contacts in consulting firms, banks, other private equity
firms, industry, etc. If you don't believe this, you can ask one of our current interns or former interns in similar positions.
We are a start-up private equity firm founded in March 2015 and based in Philadelphia. The founder is a graduate from Harvard Business
School and Yale University and has worked at leading Private Equity firm, investment bank, and startups. Our strategy is to acquire established
small businesses and manage them directly ourselves. Our target industries are financial services, business services (which encompasses
pretty much everything), and healthcare. Our target deal size is $2-15m.
Responsibilities
This is a demanding role, and as such we ask you to carefully read through the daily responsibilities -- we have tried to be as honest as
possible so there is no confusion as to what this job entails.
[% of intern time]
[5%] Industry research - finding and reading industry reports, news articles, etc. to understand how firms make money in an industry and what
the most important trends are. The skill we want you to develop is to quickly synthesize a large amount of information and be able to identify
the 3-4 most important factors that make a business successful in a given industry.
[60%] Creating databases (of company contact information). There are thousands upon thousands of small businesses in the US. Before we
can start asking whether to invest in them we need a systematic way of contacting them and keeping track of communication. An unglamorous,
but essential task. Computer and programming skills are helpful, but there is no substitute for hard work and grit.
[5%] Speaking to business owners - We need people who can pick up the phone to a business owner that has responded to us and quickly
ascertain if they are interested in a sale and meet our investment criteria.
[5%] Company research -- many small business have a limited online presence. We want you to be able to dig deep and find out what makes a
small business successful -- what is their product? Who are their competitors? What differentiates them? Form a judgment and be able to tell
us in 2-3 sentences why we would/would not want to invest in them.
[5%] Drafting letters to business owners -- use industry and company research to draft letters of approach to business owners.
[5%] Financial modeling and benchmarking -- a skill sought by many leading finance companies but one we can teach you in 30 minutes.
Interns will be expected to learn how to build basic spreadsheets to help analyze potential investments.
[5%] Drafting offer letters -- writing non-binding and binding letters of interest, gaining familiarity with legal terminology and deal structuring.
[10%] Preparing deal summaries for investors -- synthesize industry, company, and financial modelling work into a 4-5 page document to brief
6
lenders and equity investors. This is a bread and butter skill for anyone wanting to work in finance.
Requirements
We prefer to hire candidates without prior investment banking or private equity experience. We view this unpaid internship as an opportunity for
students who might not have the family connections or have 'gone to the right school' to break into the financial services industry. We aren't
interested in prior finance services experience or whether or not you are a finance major or member of a finance club. We are far more
interested in how you have demonstrated your ability to work hard doing real work. Some of the best interns in a similar firm like ours have
previously been landscapers, painters, salespeople, and librarians.
There is no experience requirement. We have had undergraduates, MBAs, PHDs and experienced professionals apply for this role. Hard work
and cultural fit are what matter most.
Timing:
We are looking for interns available to start between late May and early June for a 12 week Summer Program.
We cannot respond to all emails but will do our best to respond and provide feedback to those who take initiative. Reading this far through the
job posting is a good sign of that. Checking out this website is an even better sign:
http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/ces/resources/search_funds.html
What Else:
You:
o Are a high energy individual who takes initiative to get stuff done
o Responsive (good with email, phone, texts)
o Are an awesome communicator (verbal/oral and written communication is par excellence)
o Love to build professional relationships
o Have a passion for small businesses and researching small companies
o Are a self starter that requires limited oversight in the completion of individual projects
o Respect and meet deadlines
o Have high integrity and seek to work with teammates who share values of integrity, accountability and fun
If the above sounds like you, I encourage you to apply.
