Research Analyst

My internship at Merchant Equities Capital Corp. will be an opportunity for me to work directly with the principal of the company and get an intimate experience in the finance industry, specifically merchant banking and private equity. During my time at Merchant Equities I will be supporting the principal, Mr. Leslie, in an audit of one of MECC’s clients, TRION Energy Solutions, where I will be responsible for gathering, summarizing, and organizing all of the necessary documentation. I will also assist Mr. Leslie in his efforts to fund TRION Energy Solutions during various tranches that will be fundamental in capitalizing their ground breaking research into a more efficient lithium-ion battery. I will support management’s vision to build and operate four environmentally friendly green facilities that are being engineered to convert annually tens of thousands of tonnes of garbage into high-grade renewable diesel and aviation fuels.(A fifth facility is contemplated to be built on a JV basis between CIELO and Seymour Capital, a company that is also a client of MECC). I will also help to model the costs and projected revenues of the green JV facilities, pursuant to which there are executed Memorandums of Understanding with CIELO.
