Balancing Private Credit and a Startup – Advice Needed
Hey everyone,
First time posting here—hoping for some real advice and not just a bot response.
This summer, I’ll be interning in private credit at a firm like Blackstone, Ares, Oaktree, or KKR. HR has outlined a clear path for me to convert the internship into a full-time analyst role in two years, and a current team member followed this exact track. For context, I’m a sophomore.
At the same time, I have a startup that I’m extremely passionate about, with verbal commitments for funding in the $500K–$1M range. I want to secure a return offer, but I also know that if I truly want to build this company, I need to give it my full effort.
Has anyone successfully managed both a high-intensity finance role and a startup? Is it even realistic? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Bump
