Summer Internship: Start-Up Corporate Strategy or Family Office?

Rising junior at a target school here trying to decide between summer internship offers.

Option 1: Corporate strategy role at a 100+ person startup in Asia expanding internationally, $17m series A funding. Typical start-up environment with a cool office.

Option 2: Small Multi-Family Office doing some kind of Asset Management role.

Obviously there are pros and cons to each situation. How relevant would Option 2 for MBB, given the finance focus? Would it shore up the quant side of my resume or simply dilute my indicated interest in MBB?
