Looking for an internship in PE/VC - any hints?

Hi everyone,

I am a current MBA student (INSEAD), looking for internships in PE/VC field.
Can someone advise some unconventional channels which I may use to approach the funds?
For now only thing I do is cold messaging people in LinkedIn and by email.
My background is mostly IT + I did a 6 month internship in a $150m venture fund.Will take CFA I test in Junel
I also was a Fulbright scholar and several times national chess champion, if that matters.

 

If cold-emailing didn't work why not try looking into your network on linkedin and see if any of your close colleagues/friends/professors know anyone at a PE fund they can introduce to you? I don't really see there being any problem with cold-calling small PE firms either. Good luck.
