Upstate NY

Hey guys, looking for some advice. I'm currently a junior @ a non-target, I've applied to a plethora of summer positions and waiting to hear back still. In the mean time I was wondering if there are any pe, hedge funds, or vc firms in upstate ny that you guys know of (I've found a few, but I'm always looking for more). The reason why I ask is that I don't mind going out of my way chasing these firms down and even working without pay, but it has to be in upstate so that I can actually afford to work unpaid. Any advice or info is appreciated.

Thanks
