May 10, 2021

I ran a search fund, acquired a point of sale software company, had an exit, and am now running running the auto shop software within the parent company. We're looking to significantly ramp up our M&A and I'm looking for an intern to come in and take full ownership of this process over the summer of###-###-#### This means sourcing, evaluating, trying to close deals, while I guide them using my learnings from running a search fund.

Anybody know where I'd get started, to find a good intern (or two good interns) for this?

Hi Keegan, university job boards good place to start - take the ones close to you so you ideally have personal interaction and get in touch with MBA program financial services career teams. Job market is tough these days so you might even have quite experienced former M&A analysts
