Hi - I am looking to bring on a deal sourcing associate intern details below.
About Choose Capital
Choose Capital is a holding company focused on acquiring and operating cash-flowing online businesses. Founded in May 2024, we've already completed our first acquisition, a profitable email newsletter in the precious metals niche, and are actively seeking to acquire our second asset as a cash buyer.
Role Overview
We're seeking a proactive and analytical Deal Sourcing Intern to help identify and qualify acquisition opportunities that match our investment criteria. This is an excellent opportunity for someone interested in M&A, entrepreneurship, and learning the ins and outs of business acquisitions firsthand. Specifically, great for a college student going down the IB/PE track looking for some extra "umph" to have in their toolkit and throw on their resume.
Key Responsibilities
• Source deal flow across online marketplaces and broker networks
• Screen opportunities against Choose Capital's investment criteria (cash flow, valuation multiples, business model, etc.)
• Create deal summaries for promising opportunities, highlighting key financials and strategic fit
• Conduct initial outreach to sellers and brokers to gauge interest and gather preliminary information
• Maintain pipeline of active opportunities and update deal status regularly
• Research industries and niches to identify undervalued or emerging opportunities
• Support due diligence by organizing financial documents and tracking key data points
Ideal Candidate
• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Business, Finance, Economics, or related field
• Strong analytical skills with comfort working with financial statements and Excel
• Self-starter who can work independently with minimal supervision
• Excellent communication skills
• Experience building & leveraging AI for bespoke use cases
• Detail-oriented with strong organizational abilities
• Interest in M&A, entrepreneurship, small business, and/or online business models
Bonus: Familiarity with online business models (newsletters, SaaS, content sites, etc.)
What You'll Get Out of This
• How to evaluate acquisition opportunities using key financial metrics
• Due diligence processes for online business acquisitions
• Deal structuring (cash, seller notes, earnouts)
• How to position yourself as a credible buyer in competitive situations
• Real-world M&A experience with hands-on involvement
• Access to my network for full time placement upon graduation
• (Dependent on acquisition) potential to work at TargetCo post-close on a paid basis
Compensation & Logistics
• Part-time, flexible hours
• Remote position
• Compensation: UNPAID; however, potential for performance bonuses on closed deals. This is really for someone hungry for a clear mandate and hands on experience to give them a competitive edge for entry level IB/PE positions.
