Arzoo LLC 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 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 12 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 lenders and equity investors. This is a bread and butter skill for anyone wanting to work in finance. Requirements 13 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.

You will meet with floor managers to understand their areas of weakness as well as their strengths on the floor to create and identify strategies for improvement. Delivery Analysis: You will compare the times that the truck should be at each dropoff location versus the actual time of arrival and determine reasons for the difference i.e. the truck left late. After understanding the patterns of the truck deliveries, you will have the opportunity to provide solutions in order to increase delivery efficiency. You will also conduct analysis to determine a cost per drop-off based on driver wages, fuel, and automobile upkeep and research alternative delivery options. Pre-Pack analysis: Philly Foodworks receives many vegetables in bulk and then breaks them down into retail weights. You will compare the cost of packing individual vegetables in-house versus outsourcing the task. You will work with managers to measure costs with in-house packing and research other companies to compare the costs. An analysis will be conducted to understand the relationship between the number of packers and the number of items. You will develop the most cost effective packaging option for each vegetable category and determine the logistics for both in-house and out-house packing. Packaging materials: Packaging materials make up approximately 8% of our revenue and consequently requires an increase in prices. You will research alternative packaging materials and gather samples to determine the most cost effective packaging options that are food safe and maintain quality. Project objectives: Research, develop and implement efficiency strategies to cut down costs. Identify key information required to continually assess efficiency and work with managers to create future systems. Project results/metrics: Collect and analyze data within each category. Create a report with suggestions for each category on how to improve efficiency or outsourcing details. This report will include positive and negative consequences for each suggestion with quantitative and 34 qualitative metrics.
