Hi all. Starting FT with an M7 next fall (accepted to CBS so far). Coming from Army Special Operations, so no prior business experience, but highly interested in PE/VC post grad. Can anyone recommend PE/VC internships/programs for this upcoming summer (or earlier) prior to school starting so that I can make more of a case for myself when recruiting starts on campus? Thanks.

Also following. CBS interviewer recommended I do something like this and quit my full time before starting. Hoping I get accepted and can figure out how to do this

Check out programs similar to Pear Fellows for VC. I’m unsure if such a program exists for PE.

PE will be a stretch due to no prior PE experience, your best bet would be trying for an internship and converting it to FT.

For VC, reach out to alumni from your school and set up virtual/irl coffee chats and make as many connections/friends you can. Your network in the VC space will be a huge asset Long term and give you an edge over the rest of the candidates as most VC positions are filled via lateral entry or referrals.


Congrats on the admit, hope you get what you’re seeking :)
