Summer internship targets

I am a MiM student in EU and im considering my options for a summer internship. My target if a FT in MBB by the time i finish ( 2019). Hypothesizing that i don't get a MBB summer internship, what are the next best alternatives?

I was considering either big tech (FB, Google etc) or start-up related (Rocket internet etc) .

I also spoke with a Bain principal and he suggested unicorn internship(Spotify, airbnb, Linkedin etc)but i don't know if they have summer internships and the LinkedIn search that i did didn't help me pin down people who could help me enter those companies.

What is your opinion? What would look better in a CV from a consulting perspecive.

Also want to add that i already have entrepreneurial experience having founded one business

IB internships are pretty common I believe. Also those companies definitely have internship programs, though the people I know who interned there were of an engineering background
