Deal Sourcing Intern

Deal Sourcing Intern - Grassfed

OPPORTUNITY OVERVIEW

Are you ready to dive into the world of mergers and acquisitions and play a pivotal role in connecting businesses with their perfect acquisition targets? At Grassfed, our Deal Sourcing Interns are on the frontlines of deal creation, directly impacting our clients' growth strategies and learning the M&A industry from the inside out.

ABOUT GRASS-FED

We believe in creating meaningful connections between lower middle market businesses looking to sell and the private equity firms and strategic acquirers seeking their next opportunity. Our team thrives on determination, authenticity, and resourcefulness. As a Deal Sourcing Intern, you'll embody these values by uncovering hidden gems in the market, initiating valuable conversations, and setting the stage for successful acquisitions that benefit all parties involved.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

This is not your typical coffee-fetching internship. From day one, you'll be trained and empowered to:

• Identify potential acquisition targets through research and strategic prospecting
• Conduct outbound calls and emails to business owners and decision-makers
• Respond professionally to inbound interest from potential sellers
• Qualify leads and book conversations between prospects and our clients
• Collaborate with our team to refine outreach strategies and messaging
• Manage data in our CRM system and assist with lead enrichment

The ideal candidate isn't afraid of picking up the phone, has a natural ability to build rapport quickly, and possesses the curiosity to learn about different businesses and industries. You don't need years of experience – we're looking for someone with the right attitude who can grow into this role with our guidance and training.

What sets this opportunity apart is our performance-based compensation structure – when you source a lead that results in a closed transaction, you'll earn a share of Grassfed's commission. This means your hard work and successful deal sourcing can potentially lead to significant financial rewards, even as an intern.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Current college student or recent graduate with interest in finance, business, or related fields
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written
• Basic understanding of the M&A process or willingness to learn quickly
• Self-motivated with the ability to work independently
• Available to work 15-20 hours per week during academic sessions or 30-40 hours during breaks
• Comfortable with technology and CRM systems (training provided)
• Positive attitude and resilience – cold outreach requires persistence!

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

This internship provides invaluable exposure to the world of M&A, direct mentorship from experienced professionals, and the potential for performance-based compensation. You'll develop transferable skills in sales, communication, research, and business development that will serve you throughout your career.

Join our team at Grassfed and help create meaningful connections in the lower middle market M&A space. Apply today by sending your resume and a brief cover letter explaining why you're interested in this role to mike@grsfd.co.
