"Blackford was a great opportunity and gave me vital experience into private equity and finance in general.  I would not have gotten my first job out of college if it wasn’t for the internship at Blackford."  

– BRANDON MAAT, Calvin College Class of 2011

"Blackford Capital is a first class organization with first class people. What's more, my internship with Blackford was a game changer and a crucial differentiator during my job search and interview process. Given the current weakness of both the job market and the investment banking industry in particular, I am not certain that I would have found a full-time analyst position in the industry right out of college without my experience at Blackford. In short, an internship with Blackford represents a premier opportunity for those looking to pursue a career in finance."  

– MICHAEL MOLLING, Calvin College Class of 2011

“Working at Blackford was a blast! The intimate culture of a small firm gave me a lot of access to the Managing Directors, from whom I learned a lot. I spent my internship helping them develop the pitch material for a consolidation of a number of companies . . . which the firm successfully completed and sold to a strategic acquirer. I felt like my work at Blackford made a big difference and was an instrumental part of the firm’s strategy.”

– JENNIFER DANZI, Williams College, London School of Economics, Dartmouth Business School, PepsiCo

"I had an incredible internship experience at Blackford, and I learned as much as I learned in any class at graduate business school. The team was great – hard-working, fun, smart, and committed to excellence. I would strongly advocate an internship at Blackford Capital. ”

– SANIL GEORGE, Intern, Blackford Capital, Carroll School of Management (MBA), Boston College

“My internship at Blackford Capital was awesome – fast-paced, a lot of responsibility
(almost too much), and a great team culture. I spent most of the time identifying
investment opportunities, creating deal summaries, and recommending companies that the team should buy. The most exciting part was they actually closed on a deal I found: Staging Concepts. I would recommend an internship at Blackford Capital to anyone interested in a career in finance or business.”

– TARUN JAIN, Intern, Blackford Capital, University of Southern California

“I loved working as an intern at Blackford . . . My experience at Blackford was a great trajectory for my career, I learned an incredible amount about private equity, and it was instrumental in helping me get a job at Gores Private Equity, one of the largest PE firms in the world.”

– MICHAEL TEDORI, Intern & Analyst, Blackford Capital, University of Pennsylvania, Gores Group Private Equity Firm
