Corp Dev/Business Dev SA positions

Been a rough few months networking and prepping for 2021 IB summer analyst interviews. Landed a few first rounds at really good banks after networking my ass off but haven't even made it to a superday yet. I'm still going to keep trying for IB since there's a handful of firms left that are still recruiting, but I also want to begin exploring other options in case IB doesn't work out.

Are there any companies that have built out corporate development internships? What are some other pathways similar to IB besides consulting and Big4? Trying to get a lay of the land. Appreciate any insight.
