Cold emailing HF and finding HF's

Has anybody tried cold emailing hedge funds looking for an internship? If so, how did you go about it?

I figure there is nothing to lose but the time put in.

Also, is there a site to look up the HF's in an area?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

 

Make sure you're tenacious and follow-up, definitely go for unpaid if you're not getting any hits.

Also, and people don't talk about this enough here, but get in good with the secretaries and other support staff. They are the gatekeepers to everyone you want to talk to. Something as simple as following up by sending flowers (for a female secretary) saying "thanks so much for talking to me" could land your resume on someone's desk.
