Hi Searchfunder community! I’m Eric McCurdy, a Finance student at Penn State with a small business background and a deep interest in SBA and operations. Over the past few years, in addition to my college coursework, I’ve built and run a residential property services business which gave me firsthand experience with business development, team management, and the challenges of owner-operator businesses.
That experience led me to transition to the ETA path full-time. I’m looking for an internship that would allow me to support and learn from operators, investors, or searchers with real-world deal and operational exposure.
I’m particularly interested in:
-
Deal evaluation and structuring
-
Financial diligence
-
Post-acquisition operations, management, and growth strategy
-
CEO-level decision-making in small businesses, CEO assistant tasks
I’m eager to learn, ready to contribute wherever I can, and would love to connect with anyone willing to share insight, opportunities, or guidance.
You can reply or reach me directly at redacted — thank you for your time, and I hope to connect!
Best,
Eric McCurdy
