Buy-Side Investment Analyst Equity Research Analyst Business Development Associate Marketing AssociateProgram Philosophy
This is not a classroom. It is a small, selective program where you operate inside a real buy-side process. We value independent thinking, clean writing, and composure under ambiguity.
Interns collaborate directly with senior team members on live deal flow, thesis sprints, and targeted diligence. Expect to contribute—not observe.

Who We're Looking For
Intellectual rigor + practical judgment > pedigree. Prior finance experience is helpful but not required. We care about clear thinking, clear writing, and discretion.
Signals we look for:
- Structured analysis and clean, defensible assumptions
- Concise writing and presentation under time pressure
- Comfort with imperfect data and first-principles reasoning
- Bias for action, personal accountability, and integrity
- Professional composure with owners, bankers, and operators
We welcome undergraduates, graduate students, and early-career professionals exploring principal investing.
