B4 to IB Conversion?

So long story short I have a B4 management connection that I intend to leverage as much as possible.  There appears to be at least an above-zero chance that I can get an internship in B4 M&A next summer and/or off-cycle.  Nothing certain ofc, but a great lead nonetheless.  My primary goal however is IB M&A, so I'd like to know how useful a B4 M&A internship is for that and what my options are in terms of using it to better my chances.
