Caprae Capital Partners
Internship Program Reviews and Shoutouts

When I first applied to private equity internships, I expected little dynamism—just industry reports and basic modeling. I joined Caprae Capital Partners because I hoped that working with a firm led by entrepreneurs might be different. Within months, I found myself sourcing billionaire family offices and leading seller and investor outreach, backed by writing a dozen detailed research reports that sharpened my understanding of Caprae’s investment thesis.

The highlight of my experience was working directly with Kevin on sourcing at trade shows in Chicago, London, and Frankfurt. His leadership is rooted in an unwavering commitment to those who show real hunger. The more I invested in the work, the more responsibility and trust I earned. Seeing him start his day at 2 AM with relentless passion inspired me to push harder myself.

What impressed me most was hearing Kevin engage sellers with vision and authenticity. Even compared to conversations I’ve had with Fortune 500 executives and Wall Street investors, his ability to connect was unmatched. My time at Caprae not only advanced my career in private equity and deal negotiation but also gave me a front-row view of the drive and vision required to build a truly great company.

Caprae was run with a level of operational efficiency I hadn’t seen before, thanks to Kevin and the team constantly refining processes. Even though we worked remotely, there were weekly meetings to review results, update deals, and train new interns, plus regional events and social hours that built genuine connections. Departments were structured around outreach, lead generation, research, and finance, with senior interns managing teams. This system allowed us to send 500+ personalized emails weekly, generate hundreds of leads, and book 5–10+ founder meetings a week—far above industry norms.

I interned at Caprae for about 9–10 months, overlapping with a full-time role at another firm. Looking back, I can honestly say I learned more here than in any other work experience. Kevin structures the program to reward top performers with more responsibility, which accelerates both personal growth and Caprae’s own development. For example, one co-founder even built an intern management system to track assignments automatically, and recruiting quickly scaled to hundreds of applicants per cycle.

Despite fluctuating between 20–40 interns, Caprae ran more efficiently than larger companies I’ve worked at with thousands of employees. There was no politics or busywork—only accountability, ownership, and opportunities for those who showed initiative. Beyond sourcing leads or drafting LOIs, I learned how to think about running a fund, how to meet with business owners, and how to lead a team. Many interns, myself included, have said Caprae was their favorite work experience—something rare among students and young professionals. That speaks volumes about the culture and the impact of this program.

I started my internship at Caprae  in May 2021, the

main reason I wanted to join Caprae was to get familiar with the private equity and search fund space. Lacking experience in this field of work, I found Caprae to be an opportunity that incorporates my missing experience in the said field, aiding in my growth and development. When I started working in the research department, the team was still tackling deal 18. As of today, we are at deal 124, which really shows the milestones that the Caprae team has overcame and the number of companies and industries that were dealt with in a matter of months. One of the skills that Ilearned in Caprae  is how to look at things from the investor’s point of view and put myself in their position. Another skill that I gained over this course of time is that of multi-tasking and paying attention to details. This adds to my repertoire of skills which are essential on a day-to-day basis. Adding to that, I got the advantageous opportunity of working in every department at Caprae in a simultaneous manner. Thus, time management and increased concentration were crucial skills that I was able to develop throughout my journey. All these skills acted, and still are acting, as an added value to my daily life as well as my career life. Caprae had many breakthroughs in the search fund space, such as having an international team (me being part of that), doing mockups and prototypes, having up to 39 interns at the same time, etc. Caprae has been smooth sailing ever since the very beginning. At the start, its members were just generating leads, but now, Caprae is composed of around 5 departments, each specialized in tackling different tasks. This comes as proof as to how much successes Caprae has been witnessing ever since its start; and with the efforts that its members are presenting, a bright future for Capre is expected to ensue

This experience has been one of the most valuable parts of my college journey so far. I had the opportunity to work on projects like building a Confidential Information Memorandum research paper, reviewing and personalizing over 150 client communications, analyzing 250+ handbooks each week to strengthen recruitment, and creating LeadGen reports to highlight new investment opportunities. Toward the end of my internship, I also joined the recruitment team, where I gained valuable insight into the internal hiring process. These responsibilities gave me a real look into how finance and strategy intersect, and helped me grow both my technical and professional skills.

More importantly, I’ve had the privilege of working with some incredible people along the way. A special thank you to Kevin Hong for being such a supportive mentor where your guidance in business writing and thoughtful advice will stay with me throughout my career in finance. I also truly appreciated the opportunity to work with Ka Ming Li (Kamas), Jack Hu, Zackary Beckham, and Jamie Zhang, who made training and collaborating across different departments such a valuable experience.

These past 4 months have been a wonderful experience, and I am grateful to have been part of a firm making such a positive impact on the finance industry. I have learned so much here and believe something special is being built at Caprae that is more modern than any other PE firm I have seen. I’ve received great feedback on identifying quality leads and, more importantly, improved my writing to clients and business owners.

I’ve had numerous opportunities to learn during this program, but even more valuable has been what I’ve unlearned. Coming into Caprae, I had a narrow view of private equity. Over the past nine months, I learned to challenge assumptions—understanding why a seemingly “perfect” company might be rejected and why another with hidden potential could be a strong investment. Kevin’s ability to explain the growth rationale behind these decisions taught me to think forward and identify trends that shape the future.

This internship also gave me the chance to lead. After writing and reviewing nearly 60 industry and product reports, I built the confidence to guide a team and deepen my expertise. That experience has already helped me secure offers in the PE space as a research analyst.

Perhaps the most striking part of my time at Caprae was watching the firm’s rapid growth. I joined when the company was just beginning operations, and within months it had grown to over 120 deals. Experiencing that firsthand showed me how effective management, communication, and focus can scale an organization quickly.

This internship has been far from typical. It’s given me practical skills, leadership experience, and perspective on how disruptive finance and entrepreneurship really work. It has been one of the most impactful experiences of my career journey so far.

What makes Caprae Capital stand out is its forward-thinking mindset and its willingness to engage critically with the evolving landscape of private equity. Rather than following a traditional path, the firm actively explores new ideas and models that aim to create long-term value with greater intentionality. Being part of a team that doesn’t shy away from asking tough questions about the industry has been both refreshing and thought-provoking.

Over the course of this experience, I didn’t just learn how to do the job, I learned how to think critically, communicate professionally, take on responsibility, and adapt quickly in fast-paced environments. I’m especially thankful for the chance to collaborate with a globally diverse team and to grow both personally and professionally.

This internship has also given me the chance to reflect on myself—deepening my understanding of work environments, leadership styles, and company dynamics, which has been especially meaningful as someone still early in my journey into the business world.

Special thanks to Kevin Hong, Zackary Beckham, Jamie Zhang, Jack Hu for your efforts and leadership in my learning.

Thank you to the entire Caprae Capital team for your mentorship and support!

M.D. Arnold once said, “A good leader leads the people from above them. A great leader leads the people from within them.” Kevin Hong is what Arnold would call a great leader. With an unconventional background—from living in a van to becoming a successful entrepreneur—he brings a rare perspective grounded in management skills, tenacity, and compassion.

Kevin’s management skills are unmatched. He leads an international team of interns and professionals with minimal meetings, yet always makes time for mentorship and explains complex concepts in simple terms. His tenacity shows in the way he reviews work personally before deal meetings, which has resulted in exceptional deal flow in a short period.

Equally important is Kevin’s compassion. He gives interns opportunities to attend industry trade shows and fosters an environment of transparency, respect, and pride. At Caprae, Kevin doesn’t just lead from above — he leads from within — and that’s what makes the experience so impactful.

I’m proud and grateful to share that I’ve completed my 12-week internship at Caprae Capital Partners as a Private Equity Intern.

This internship was more than just an opportunity to build skills. It became my first real step into private equity as an asset class and a place where I started to understand how businesses are evaluated, structured, and grown. I worked on projects ranging from email strategy and lead generation to market research, cold calls, and financial modeling, each of which gave me a better view of how capital, strategy, and operations fit together.

What stood out most at Caprae was the culture of critical thinking. The team is willing to question the way private equity has traditionally been done and to explore new models that prioritize long-term value. Being part of those conversations taught me to look deeper at company dynamics, leadership styles, and the factors that make investing sustainable.

Over these 12 weeks, I learned how to think more critically, communicate more effectively, and take responsibility in a fast-paced environment. I also gained a much stronger foundation in business, not just in technical skills but in how strategy, people, and discipline come together to create value.

This experience has been both professional and personal growth for me. It gave me the chance to see private equity in practice, not just in theory, and to reflect on how I want to shape my own career in finance moving forward.

A special thank you to Kevin Hong, Zackary Beckham, Jamie Zhang, and Jack Hu for your mentorship and leadership, and to the entire Caprae Capital team for creating such a supportive environment for learning.

I'm extremely grateful for the guidance and insights provided during Sunday strategy meetings and the respectable work everyone has put into their research to present and help us learn. I want to sincerely thank Jamie Zhang for introducing me to this opportunity that has transformed my perspective on how search funds could operate and Kevin Hong for the unique thought-leadership during every meeting; I've truly never seen a vision so trailblazing and game-changing. Wishing everyone the best!

After six rewarding months, my internship at Caprae Capital Partners has come to an end.

I had the opportunity to work on multiple live transactions from initial evaluation through to execution. I actively contributed to the due diligence process by conducting detailed financial analysis, evaluating key risks and opportunities, performing market and competitor research while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to ensure thorough assessment and support execution.

These experiences strengthened my ability to make informed investment decisions through rigorous deal, company and market evaluation, while deepening my understanding of private equity, the search fund model and the broader finance and investing landscape.

I’d like to extend special thanks to Kevin Hong, Jamie Zhang, Zackary Beckham, Patrick Nathan and Jack Hu for their continuous support, thoughtful feedback, and commitment to involving me in meaningful projects. Your encouragement and trust have made a real difference, and I’m truly grateful to have learnt from each of you.

After an incredibly rewarding few months, I’ve completed my internship with Caprae Capital Partners. I’m thankful for the opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute alongside such a talented and entrepreneurial team.

During my time at Caprae, I had the chance to dive deep into the world of private equity – sourcing potential investments, analyzing market fragmentation and trends, and building investment theses for high-potential opportunities. I also helped lead an internal AI strategy initiative, producing investor-facing media to strengthen firm branding and LP engagement.

I am grateful to share that I’ve concluded my summer internship at Caprae Capital Partners.

Caprae provided true hands-on experience from day one. Over the past three months, I supported live deal sourcing, conducted market research across multiple industries, analyzed financials, and contributed to internal deal processes. The pace was fast, the expectations were high, and the work pushed me to think more critically, operate with precision, and take full ownership. It was demanding, but that’s exactly what made it rewarding.

What stood out most was the culture. Caprae runs lean and expects you to think clearly, move fast, and deliver without excuses. Feedback was direct and constant, which forced me to raise my standards early. I came in thinking I knew how to work hard and think critically, I left with a much sharper understanding of what that actually means in a real investing environment.

Kevin Hong and Jamie Zhang, I extend my sincere thanks for your mentorship and guidance. You set the tone early, gave honest feedback, and carved out time to teach when you didn’t have to.

I learned so much from the entire Caprae team, and I plan to build upon this experience you provided me and carry it forward.

Caprae has by far been my most unique and captivating experience so far during my undergrad, and I can confidently say that Kevin Hong's Sunday speeches about level 1&2 geniuses, along with industry disruptors, will be things I remember 10 and even 20 years down the line. I'd also like to thank Zackary Beckham Jamie Zhang for their guidance and support on all of my deliverables throughout the term. Although my time with Caprae is coming to a close, I will definitely stay up to date with Caprae's ongoing initiatives they're posting about on LinkedIn. Thanks again to everyone for the opportunity, and I'm looking forward to seeing the future of Caprae play out.

From April to August 2025, I had the opportunity to join Caprae Capital Partners as a Full Stack Developer Intern.

During this time, I learned a great deal and was deeply involved in backend development, database architecture, API integrations, and data pipeline design.

A special thanks to Ukant Jadia, my trusted partner in tackling database and backend challenges, whether it was debugging, optimizing queries, or designing efficient solutions.

I also truly appreciate Ukant Jadia, along with Muhammad Rafi Syafrinaldi, Yash Jagdale, Jethro Lim, Shreeharini S, and Ridhun ks, for working side-by-side, sharing knowledge, and offering valuable feedback throughout this journey.

This experience not only strengthened my technical skills in Python and PostgreSQL, but also sharpened my problem-solving, communication, and adaptability in a fast-paced startup environment.

​

Thank you to Caprae Capital Partners, Kevin Hong, and Zackary Beckham, our project manager who consistently provided guidance, feedback, and solutions, for the trust and opportunity.

This chapter may be closed, but the lessons and connections I’ve gained will continue to shape my next steps.

 I'm grateful for the opportunity to be part of such an impressive team, and truly admire the work that you guys are doing to change the search fund industry. Good on everyone here for working to change the game.

I would like to sincerely thank you for the opportunity to be part of such a unique team. During my time here, I’ve developed a much stronger understanding of investment research, deal evaluation, and the way a search fund operates. I’ve also appreciated the chance to contribute to research projects and to learn directly from the team’s approach. Kevin Hong Zackary Beckham

Getting hands-on with deal sourcing, stepping out of my comfort zone with cold calls, and speaking directly with business owners has been an experience I’ll carry forward. It’s given me a much deeper understanding of private equity and what it really takes to find and build the right opportunities.

 Thank you so much for the opportunity, it’s an invaluable experience to work with Kevin Hong Zackary Beckham Jamie Zhang and every other bright mind in this company. I wish everybody the best, and I do hope to stay in touch and would love to return if the opportunity is available in the future.

I’m truly excited to see the firm hit headlines and reshape the industry as the type 1 Michael Jordan and Lionel Messi types. Rooting for you and the rest of the team all the way!

 I have been here since early May and have gotten the opportunity to not only work alongside talented and hardworking individuals but also learn more about the private equity and search fund space. This internship taught me more than I thought I would ever learn, and being able to actively contribute to something bigger than myself was exciting.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to work on such unique projects, from the pitch deck for CLOVER with Kevin Hong to the ITSco-CIM research under Zackary Beckham’s guidance. I’ve learned more than I ever imagined, and I’m especially grateful for the day-to-day mentorship and the little moments. Learning what Caprae is all about really shifted my foresight on finance - and I'm excited to see this company continue to pave its disruptive path.

Working alongside every bright mind here has been invaluable. I truly appreciate everyone’s support, encouragement, and the culture of innovation you’ve all helped build. I wish Caprae nothing but success and would love to stay in touch. If the chance arises to return in the future, I’d jump at it.

You have great perspectives ahead.

It has been a revolutionary month and half under your leadership. I like your style of leadership I have to say. You always work directly with the people you employ, even the smallest ones. I always try doing the same in the vineyard.

 It was so incredible working with Zackary Beckham and Radit. Kevin Hong you are a very inspiring man, I hope I become like you some day.  Really loved working with other on the team as well. I wish everybody the best and hope to cross roads if possible.

I’m really grateful for the chance to be part of the team - thank you for the support and for building such a driven and collaborative environment. It’s been inspiring to witness the work being done here, and I’ll definitely be cheering you on from the sidelines. Thanks for the opportunity.

I wanted to thank everyone for all the mentorship and guidance you've all provided over my time here since March. Caprae is truly changing the ETA industry, and I'm super grateful to have even played a small part in the entrepreneurial process. My time here has been so valuable in developing my attention to detail and how I think, conduct research, and write.

I have been with Caprae since May, and I am extremely grateful for the breadth of learning opportunities I have had throughout my time here. I have met and worked with a lot of talented people here at firm, and it has been incredible to witness how much the firm's business and objectives have changed since May. I would like to thank Jamie and Kamas, particularly for taking a lot of time to train me in various tasks, as well as giving me the opportunities to work on many different teams, and of course, to Kevin and everyone else that I have interacted with in my time here. Hope to stay connected with everyone going forward!

I’ve been extremely grateful for the opportunity to work here, I’ve learned more than I ever thought I would. Shoutout to @Azhar / Zen for making long cold call hours fun, I’ve had a great time working with you!

Working at Caprae has been an invaluable experience, thank you so much for giving me the chance to work in such an amazing community! Super grateful to @Jamie Zhang and @Sachiv Tahil for being great mentors, along with everyone else I’ve met and interacted with at Caprae. Excited to see Caprae grow into something incredible!

I would like to sincerely thank everyone at Caprae for the opportunity to learn, relearn, and unlearn about the PE and Search Fund space. When I joined back in July, I was completely clueless — and while I’m still (relatively) clueless, I now know better how deals are structured, how to approach cold calls, and researching with sharper eyes. It’s been an invaluable learning curve.

I truly believe Caprae is on track to disrupt the lower to middle-market PE space and I cannot wait to see Caprae rock front-page headlines.

Thank you again for the guidance, patience, and encouragement over the past few months. It’s been a privilege learning from this amazing group of people. Big thank you to @Kevin Hong for the cold call lectures - you are truly amazing at what you do, and I’m inspired to work as hard as you in the future, @Jamie Zhang & @Azhar / Zen for helping me settle in these past months.  @Radit

I’m happy to support the team in any way after I finish and will do my best to help those stepping into leadership roles feel prepared and confident. Thank you all for making this such a valuable and memorable experience.

What Caprae is building and how they are building it is something unique and in the future will most definitely disrupt the Private Equity Industry. Some awesome stuff is going on here!

Being able to make my way up to a mentor intern and help others who were once in a position I was once in has been a. honorable pleasure and achievement.

I’d like to give a special thanks to @Jamie Zhang, @Kevin Hong, @Nicholas (Nico) Taylor, @Radit & the team for helping me throughout the internship and helping me develop along the way, while also trusting and allowing me to be a part of the leadership team. The journey has been great, and I’d still like to stay connected and, in the future, look forward to being a part of this program once again! I wish everyone the very best and lots of success. Can’t wait to see the impact Caprae will make within the industry.

I’m especially thankful to @Kamas LI for the opportunity to contribute meaningfully, particularly in developing and executing targeted campus recruiting strategies to attract top-tier university talent to further Caprae's internship program. Kamas, you really were a kind hearted and caring mentor to me, and I really do appreciate the amount of effort that you put in leading the recruiting front and the success that it has amounted to. I am so confident in your future career success, and I know that your leadership skills will continue to inspire your future mentees. Additionally, thank you so much @Jamie Zhang by not only helping me develop my outreach skills through leadgen, but by teaching me how to better source potential investment opportunities through focused outreach and market research, it truly has been incredibly rewarding and broadening. Jamie, you were amazing to work with and I admire your leadership skills and your ability to encourage everyone to work to their best of abilities. Also thank you to both of you guys for prompting me to a mentor intern - it really did mean a lot to me and I wish you both nothing but the best!

For me, a standout experience was my data science work on the East Asian business classification project. This project has been a vital learning experience, applying practical data science tools to real-world business challenges and I’m grateful to have been able to help [Client] advance his investment thesis through this data-driven approach. Through this project I was able to build an automated pipeline leveraging Machine Learning techniques to classify Korean and other Asian-owned businesses with strong accuracy, enriching wide datasets, and integrating industry data for actionable client insights. To me, I genuinely believe that machine learning is the future for Caprae and I'm grateful to @Kevin Hong for recognizing its potential during our presentation - I can't wait to see how Caprae succeeds and implements ML in the future!

Thank you to everyone @Kamas LI @Jamie Zhang @Kevin Hong, @Zackary Beckham and the entire Caprae team for the collaboration and support. It’s been inspiring working alongside such talented colleagues especially @Anthony Liang and@Nhi-Ha Le, and I look forward to staying connected and hopefully return someday. Wishing everyone success as Caprae continues to innovate in the industry!!

I’m especially grateful for the chance to serve as a mentor intern on the [Client]research project—helping build a multi-source data pipeline for East Asian–owned small businesses, developing a surname-based ML model to classify owners’ ethnicity with ~80–85% accuracy, and normalising/enriching 50k+ business records across major cities. That project was a real highlight and an invaluable learning experience for me.

Thank you to @Kevin Hong, @Zackary Beckham, @Jamie Zhang, and everyone else here—it’s been incredible working alongside such bright minds. I hope to stay in touch, and would love to return in the future if the opportunity arises. Excited to see Caprae continue disrupting the industry!

I am very grateful for your understanding and flexibility in accommodating my request, and I feel privileged to have been part of the Caprae team.

I truly hope to stay in touch and would love the chance to return once circumstances allow.

Thank you for all the support and feedback throughout my internship. It really made the experience meaningful.

I'd like to thank you all and the Caprae team for this opportunity to work with the firm. This experience has helped me extend my knowledge in finance and I've really enjoyed my time here. I sincerely thank you all for the experience and guidance I've received, and I hope to stay in touch going forward.

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for the opportunity to be part of Caprae. This experience has pushed me into a paradigm shift, not just about investing, but about ownership, operational value creation, and the level of precision required to run a real process in the lower-middle market. I have learned more here in a short time than I expected, and I’m genuinely grateful for the mentorship, the trust, and the high-performance environment.

I’ll be rooting for Caprae going forward and would love to stay connected as I continue growing and expanding my career in the industry. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if I can ever be helpful. I look forward to crossing paths again soon and hopefully collaborating down the line.

Thank you again for everything.

My time at Caprae has been a wonderful learning experience. I’ve truly appreciated the exposure, the mentorship from Kevin, and the chance to work alongside such driven interns. Thank you for all the support and learning I’ve received during my time at Caprae.

I would like to thank @Kevin Hong for giving me the opportunity to work here and especially for pushing me to be a better writer. I will keep growing, and I hope to be back one day, but 10x stronger. I am truly thankful.

I am deeply thankful for the constant guidance, support, and trust I’ve received from everyone throughout my journey. I’ve learned immensely from @Kevin Hong, not just about finance and sourcing, but also about self-growth, discipline, and how to become the best version of yourself. I truly feel grateful to have mentors like @Kevin Hong, @Sachiv Tahil, @Azhar / Zen, @Zackary Beckham, and @Radit who have always guided me with patience and kindness. Zack and Radit, especially, have always understood my challenges and helped me in every possible way. I genuinely feel blessed that my first experience in the corporate world was with the Caprae family; it has been nothing less than transformative. I’ll always be thankful to Caprae for shaping me, and I sincerely hope that one day, after my studies, I’ll have the opportunity to work again with this wonderful team that feels like home.

Thank you again for everything this team has provided.

I want say thank you for the awesome opportunity to be part of Caprae. I have learned so much about the private equity space and I’ve enjoyed listening in every Sunday for some of the most informative and educational meetings I’ve ever attended.

Thank you for everything and the opportunity to be a part of this amazing team. I will continue to follow Caprae through LinkedIn and the people I’ve met and worked with here.

Best regards and wishing nothing but success for this firm and you all,

Paul Yoon

Since joining in late July, I've grown tremendously through every experience, whether it was lead generation that taught me patience with repetitive tasks and sometimes with some extremely difficult leads to find, researching unfamiliar sectors, contributing to the QA team, or cold calling and dialing countless numbers without a single pickup. Those cold call sessions with you, @Azhar / Zen and @Jamie Zhang, were particularly valuable. What Caprae is building is truly unique and will undoubtedly disrupt the Private Equity industry, creating a comprehensive database for all M&A deals, including the impressive Saasquatch leads work by @Zackary Beckham.

Being promoted to mentor intern and helping others who were once in my position has been an honorable achievement. I've thoroughly enjoyed these past few months and learned immensely under @Kevin Hong's leadership. I'm thankful to have been part of the financial revolution Caprae is leading.

Thank you to @Radit for always being responsive, and @Jamie Zhang for your constructive feedback on my work. I'd like to give special thanks to @Jamie Zhang, @Kevin Hong, @Sachiv Tahil, @Zackary Beckham, @Radit, and the entire team for your guidance, support, and trust in allowing me to be part of the leadership team.

To @Katherine Wu, @Aleks Krasimirov Kimov, and @Darvesh Gill, working with you has been fantastic, and I hope you achieve all your goals ahead.

@Kevin Hong, your "bleed and build" philosophy will stay with me beyond this internship. Learning about your experiences and perspectives during social hours was always a highlight of the Sunday meetings.

The journey has been incredible, and I'd love to stay connected. I'm excited to follow along and witness the impact Caprae will make within the industry.
