Caprae Capital Partners - Private Equity (PE) Intern 12 hrs/week | Multiple Tracks Available | Remote | High-Intensity M&A + Private Equity Training Caprae Capital Partners is a next-generation private equity platform built by founders, not career financiers. We do not just advise from the sidelines. We buy companies ourselves. We help clients buy companies. We launch new companies. We help grow current portfolio companies across IT services, tech-enabled search, services businesses, and other founder-led platforms. We build operating infrastructure for the lower-middle-market. Caprae works with PE firms, business brokers, independent sponsors, strategics pursuing roll-ups, acquisition entrepreneurs from tech, self-funded searchers, and traditional searchers across the U.S., Canada, U.K., Switzerland, Germany, Spain, China, and Panama. Since launching, Caprae has helped support $130M+ in closed transaction value across its ecosystem as of January 2025, while growing 10-20% month-over-month for 18+ months. We also have over $2.5B in transaction value currently stuck in our pipeline, creating a rare opportunity for interns to support not just sourcing, but the next layer of deal execution: investment memos, data rooms, buyer-seller materials, diligence organization, and transaction readiness. Most students learn M&A through spreadsheets. At Caprae, you learn it through conversations, memos, data rooms, live transaction execution, portfolio growth, and company-building. Highlights 1. Exposure to the entire investment lifecycle, from sourcing and outreach through analysis and execution 2. Direct mentorship from Caprae’s founders and operating company CEOs 3. Leadership promotion track: PE Intern, then Mentor Intern, then Account Manager 4. Alumni often transition into buy-side or leadership roles across the Caprae platform Skills You Will Focus On 1. Deal sourcing, cold outreach, and pipeline management 2. Leadership and communication within internal teams 3. Market and competitor analysis across fragmented IT services and other lower-middle-market industries 4. Due diligence frameworks 5. Financial modeling and valuation fundamentals 6. Investment memo and transaction analysis 7. Five hours of cold calling per week for 30 days, then reduced hours once proven reliable This is where service-market fit becomes product-market fit.
