We’re looking for those who are looking to take PE to the next level Internship Overview The Caprae Buyside Internship is a high-intensity training ground for future dealmakers. Instead of passive research or slow-paced financial modeling, interns here learn M&A; fundamentals the way practitioners actually do: Live conversations, real negotiation psychology, and rapid exposure to deal structuring.

Your foundation comes from outbound calls - learning how to communicate with founders, read motivation, overcome objections, and extract deal-relevant information.

As early as 4 weeks, you can transition into supporting real deals, understanding valuation logic, structure mechanics, and the sequence of an ETA transaction.

This is the only internship where students heavily focus on the human side of M&A; first, because that’s where deals are won. Core Tasks
