Family Friend of a Friend Connection Founder of Boutique IB Firm

I know family friends at the BB level really only get you a first round interview and really have no weight getting you a job. 

But my dad's friend is close with someone that's a founder of a boutique IB firm. I'm just looking for something for my sophomore summer. Can this get me an offer? Or still just a first round?
