Small, impressive companies to apply for a sophomore summer internship if junior summer goal is investment banking

Hi,

I'm a sophomore at a T-20 university studying econ and hoping to pursue IB. Do any BB's have 2022 sophomore summer internships for non-diversity candidates like myself? If not, do you know any good smaller companies that hire sophomores?

Really any boutique IB/PE/HF that is willing to take you on. I advise cold emailing firms, connecting with alums to network/ask about any internship positions at smaller boutiques and just "muscling" your way in. I emailed like 200 different boutiques before getting an interview with a small IB for my soph summer and it set me up nicely for my junior recruiting
