How to secure full-time position at BBB IB division with no summer internships?

I have a 3.9 GPA with a concentration in Finance and Legal Studies and rank in the top 5% of my class. Held positions in the school's finance association and am placed in the college's special entrepreneurial incubator of ~30 students (harder to get into than the honors program)

Choose to work on my entrepreneurial ventures every summer which amounted to over 7 figures in revenue (alternative assets venture, software venture, and FinTech venture) but I am seeking a more stable source of income. 

Entering my senior year in the fall, how do I position myself to be a successful candidate in order to secure a full-time IB analyst position at a BBB. Is it even possible since I have never held a corporate internship let alone a summer analyst program?
