I'm a sophomore in college (you could say "semi-target" for what it's worth). For one of my classes I'm researching the economic benefits of hedge funds. I emailed a handful of school alums in smaller HF's asking for insight on the topic: personal anecdotes, more resources, etc. After having some back-and-forth with a few of them, I feel like I've shown my interest and knowledge (at least for a UG biz student) for the industry.
Considering that I'm still looking for summer '19 internship opportunities, it seems like I should leverage these connections to my advantage. They're all smaller firms with no formal internship programs that I could find, so it's a role that I would have to sell them on. How should I go about inquiring and "selling" myself as a good fit for a role that, technically, doesn't exist?
TL;DR - How do I convert past convos about research for a school project to a cold (lukewarm?) email about internship opportunities for myself?
If you have the balls to interrupt these random strangers and ask for info on your silly school project, you can ask if they have any summer opportunities
