Knox Capital has welcomed its Summer 2026 analyst class — eight students who join the firm's deal teams this summer. Unlike a typical internship, every analyst is staffed on live Knox transactions and portfolio work from their first week, building the same models, market maps, and management materials the deal team relies on.
The class spans five of Knox's active practice areas: managed IT services, legal and professional services, real estate technology and applied AI, field services and private equity, and capital markets and fund strategy. Assignments were matched to each analyst's background and the deals currently moving through Knox's pipeline.
Knox is built on two things — sourcing the right platforms and backing the right people to run them. Putting analysts on live deals from week one is a direct extension of how the firm operates: relationship-driven, hands-on, and held to a real standard. The caliber of this class speaks to the talent Knox attracts.

Founder and Managing Partner
The approach is straightforward — put capable people on live deals and let them do work that matters. Each analyst owns a piece of an active transaction a partner will actually see. Someone gave me that shot early on, and this is how we pay it forward — but the bar is real output, not a summer of shadowing.
