Internship advice

I’m a first year economics student at an European target. I’m planning to do a summer internship next year and I’d like advice on what to choose. My end goal is to work in pe/hf.

These are my options:

1)consulting company that makes around a billion in revenue.

2)small vc firm

3) potentially - small family offices

Other than these, what other kind of companies should I be applying to?
