Founded in 1985 with $400,000 in seed capital, The Blackstone Group is a leading global alternative asset manager and provider of financial advisory services.

The Blackstone Group also provides various financial advisory services that include mergers and acquisitions advisory, restructuring and reorganization advisory and fund placement services.
Because Blackstone has a relatively small number of professional staff members, interns take on many of the responsibilities that full-time analysts and associates assume. The small number of employees affords interns the opportunity to participate in many aspects of projects, often working on a number of assignments at one time.
