Caprae is redefining how entrepreneurship and capital connect. We operate at the intersection of private equity, venture operations, and founder enablement, and we move fast.
We're looking for a Business Development Associate with strong commercial instincts, sharp communication skills, and the drive to turn conversations into real revenue and closed deals. This is a full-time, front-line growth role for someone exceptional at outbound outreach, confident presenting to executives, and energized by building pipeline from zero. You'll sit at the intersection of business development, partnerships, and deal execution. This is not a passive sales, marketing, or research role - you'll learn how deals actually get done by doing them.
We strongly prefer recent graduates or early-career candidates. This role is ideal for smart, hungry, coachable people who want to learn how business development, partnerships, and deals work from the ground up. Traditional finance or institutional sales experience is not required - and in some cases, heavily rigid backgrounds (investment banking, traditional PE, or overly scripted sales orgs) can be a downside due to baked-in habits. We care far more about judgment, work ethic, and output than pedigree.
This role is built for rapid advancement. High performers can move into Manager-level or platform leadership roles in months, not years - with ownership over pipeline, junior teammates, and meaningful deal flow. Compensation scales aggressively with performance. Top performers earn outsized bonuses tied directly to meetings booked, opportunities originated, and deals closed - not tenure or internal politics. This is a meritocracy: output -> trust -> responsibility -> compensation.
We're hiring a Content & Narrative Lead at Caprae. This role owns how we think, write, and show up publicly - across social, newsletters, email, and thought leadership. You'll shape our voice, turn ideas into content that travels, and help ensure our brand is sharp, consistent, and culturally fluent. This is a writing-first role. Fast-paced. Direct feedback. High standards.
Caprae is building a modern operating layer for lower-middle-market M&A - combining a research engine, deal sourcing pipeline, and internal tools that compound across every transaction. We're hiring a Developer to help build it. You'll work directly with leadership to ship internal tooling, automation, and data products that power how Caprae sources, evaluates, and executes deals. This is a builder role, not a maintenance role - expect to own features end-to-end from problem framing to deploy.
Caprae is hiring a Marketing Associate to support how we show up across channels, run campaigns, and turn audience attention into qualified pipeline. You'll work alongside the Content & Narrative Lead and senior leadership to execute marketing programs across LinkedIn, newsletters, paid channels, and partnerships. This role is execution-heavy - you'll own the day-to-day of campaigns, content scheduling, audience analytics, and lifecycle email - with room to grow into program ownership quickly.
Caprae's flagship and most selective internship designed to train the next generation of operators and investors. Interns begin with foundational work in sourcing and outreach, but top performers quickly advance into live deal research, diligence, and founder calls as early as week 3.
Aspiring private equity professionals who are looking for long-term roles, can communicate clearly, and want a holistic view of deal-making.

The Buyside Internship focuses on communication and negotiation - ideal for candidates who enjoy client interaction and structured deal support. Interns will learn to manage calls, track investor relationships, and contribute to deal execution alongside the PE and Research teams.
Outgoing communicators who prefer structured tasks and client-facing work over research and strategy.
4 rounds of interviews:

The Research Internship offers a platform for exceptional writers and strategic thinkers to develop thesis-driven insights. Interns identify asymmetric market opportunities and author internal research that influences Caprae's investment pipeline.
Independent thinkers who thrive on writing, data, and intellectual depth.
3 rounds of interviews:
Resume Screening -> Handbook -> Interview
This internship bridges finance, product strategy, and creative storytelling. Interns learn to identify product-market fit within Caprae's portfolio and convert it into compelling narratives - through visuals, memes, AI videos, and storytelling frameworks that drive both reach and resonance.
You think in frameworks, not slogans. You believe stories can change how people see money, leadership, and risk - and you want to be at the frontier of that intersection.
