Interning at CNTR Capital
CNTR Capital is a unique family office investment fund focused on the lower middle market. We invest our family capital giving us the unique ability to think in the long term with no set investment horizon compared to traditional private equity.
We work with healthy companies that have strong management teams, where we can act as true partners with a shared goal: accelerating potential by removing capital constraints. The executives we invest in are experts in their fields and have built excellent businesses. As such, we seek to support management’s goals without imposing undue cultural change.
We are always looking for bright, motivated, and driven individuals with an interest in private equity investing. We offer real-world training materials and videos anchored by our experience. At CNTR, you will be exposed to live deals from the initial screening stage, to due diligence and valuation and ultimately closing a deal. Our step-by-step process takes the guesswork out of what to do and prepares you for success at CNTR and afterward. We are prepared to provide letters of recommendation and introductions to our networks after an internship. We do not require you to live in California or Denver, although if you live in the area that is a plus.
