Boutique investment bank internship in SF

Hi! I'm currently a freshman at UC Berkeley, and I'm considering pursuing investment banking as a career. I want to gain job experience ASAP so I can see whether or not I'm cut out for this path, which means I'm trying to find some sort of internship for the Spring 2018 semester. I know the likelihood of getting an internship as a freshman is slim, so I'm reaching out to small boutique firms through email/LinkedIn in the hopes of finding an opening. Any tips for this process? Or boutique banks that it may be beneficial to reach out to? Thanks in advance! Danny
