ABL Firm/Mezzanine Financer to PE/Consulting?

How would the experience of an internship working for a secured lender (asset-backed lender) that finances distressed companies (basically private investments in public equity on a small scale, say 1-5m lent) be looked at by consulting or PE firms? The founders of the firm I'm talking about have high credibility and have great backgrounds at hedge funds and PE firms. My experience would be working with them directly day-to-day, speaking with potential investors and also preliminary analysis in determining which companies are viable options for debt issuance in terms of future growth profitability, continued cash flow growth, etc.

Good experience given the current market? Take what I can get and make the most of it and hope to lever it for interviews at BB's or MBB later on? My experience thus far involves two summer analyst positions, one at a BB IB and one at a boutique S&T and I will be attending grad school in the fall.

Will this spice up the resume and be a solid addition? Worth it? (even if pay is minimal since it's virtually a start-up?)

Thanks in advance! Truly appreciate it.
