You work on real situations and learn what motivates business owners, what buyers need and how a deal is structured. The first weeks focus on conversations with founders and owners. From about week four, you can start supporting live deals and learning valuation logic, deal structure and how an entrepreneurship through acquisition (ETA) transaction is sequenced. Responsibilities
• Start conversations with business owners and executives to understand their businesses and goals (outbound outreach is part of the role)
• Understand seller motivations and buyer constraints
• Judge whether a business is a good fit and ready for a deal

• Support live buyer and seller interactions as you progress

• Get hands-on with earnouts, seller financing, rollover equity, and reps and warranties

and how a deal's pacing unfolds Compensation
• There is no base pay. This is an unpaid, part-time internship of 10 to 12 hours per week over 3 months.
• You can earn weekly performance-based bonuses, which are not guaranteed.
• Interns who join the deal team and manage deal flow can earn up to 20% of Caprae's success fee, and several have built a potential bonus pool of $50K+. This is performance-based and not guaranteed. Progression
• After one month, interns with strong performance can collaborate with the deal and research teams.
