Non IB Finance Junior Summer Internships (PE, HF, AM, etc.)

I'm currently recruiting for Summer 2025 IB internships but wanted to widen my net given how hard it can be to get an internship at any one firm. I wanted to get together a list of firms that are NOT IB but are still in high finance, like PE internships. Does anyone know some firm names that will hire 2025 interns at some point?

Examples of some might be Orion Group (PE), Point 72 (HF), Citadel (HF), Raine Group (Merchant Banking), BDT/MSD (Merchant Banking), Spectrum Equity (PE/GE), etc.

Thanks for all the help. I want to add names here as I come across them as well.

Hedge Fund LinkedIn Review

“My meeting with Kevin Lee was super helpful and went well beyond what I originally expected. We met to discuss my LinkedIn profile, but the conversation also covered the hedge fund space and how I’m thinking about my career as a whole. I really appreciated being able to talk about both how I present myself professionally and the broader direction I want to take. As someone interested in hedge funds but also exploring other paths in finance, it was helpful to have a conversation that connected my profile to my actual interests and goals. Kevin gave me a lot to think about, and I left feeling clearer about my next steps. Overall, I really appreciated his time and willingness to go beyond the original purpose of our meeting.”

Hedge Fund Mock Interview

“He was very responsive and prepared for the meeting. He actually read the JD, resume, and looked up linkedin which sometimes other mentors doesn't actually go over those to prepare things beforehand. I appreciate his direct comments I think it saved time and actually helped me to know exactly where to improve. I also appreciated him admitting if he doesn't know about specific HF strategy. Only thing I'd suggest for him is probably sending actionable key takeaways after the meeting because other mentors did and that was very helpful. ”
