High schooler looking for search fund internship

Hey guys. I'm a HS student based out of SF with a background in finance and tech through a few internships. What do you guys think is the best way for me to find a search fund internship for this summer (besides posting on searchfunder). Thanks in advance.

Reach out to the managing partner at Desert Springs Capital on LinkedIn I believe they are looking for summer interns currently.

NextGen Growth Partners might give you a look. I've seen I think freshman/sophomores summer there.

Would be unpaid.

The hilarity of this is that you and I will end up on the same spot.

I spent most of HS messing with friends, chasing girls, playing sports etc.

You don't need to do this to get a job as an IB analyst… lmao

First, i enjoy learning. I have a balance of all the things you've listed.

Secondly, if I end up at a semi-target, I'm sure something like this would help, as it would help me secure a good internship freshman year summer that ends up helping for IB.
