"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."

"My internship at Blackford Capital was awesome – fast-paced, a lot of responsibility, 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."
