Marlow & Hart Advisory Boutique M&A
Why we picked this firm Six-partner advisory with no grad scheme, so a good email goes straight to the deal team, not an HR filter.

How it works

Three steps. About ten minutes.

Step 1

Say who you want to work for, in plain English

Type it like a text. No filters, no database to learn. We search the live web, read each firm's actual website, and keep only real matches, with the reason attached.

app.genmax.co.uk/find
Nice brief. I'll search Manchester for boutique M&A advisory firms, read their sites, and skip anything corporate. Ready when you are. Start search?
Typical search: 20 matched firms in a few minutes
Step 2 · Why boutiques reply

At a boutique, you work with the people who run it

No portal, no screening round. Their contact address goes straight to the person who decides. And once you're in, you're on real deals with the partners, not lost in an intake of fifty.

✓ On Pro, we'll also find the founder by name where we can

“I sent a handful through GEN-MAX and a founder wrote back within a couple of days. No portal, no ghosting, just a reply. Ended up going in for a chat.”
A real reply from an early tester. At firms this size, the founder reads the inbox.
Step 3 · You stay in control

Write it yourself, or let the AI write it

Write your own script and we personalise it per firm, or let the AI write it from your CV. You preview a real example first, every claim is fact-checked against your CV, and it sends from your own Gmail one at a time.

SubjectSecond-year economist keen on your consumer deals work
Dear Eleanor,

I saw Marlow & Hart specialises in lower-mid-market consumer deals, which is exactly the space I studied in my retail M&A dissertation at Manchester. I'd love to spend a few summer weeks learning how a six-person team actually runs a deal…

Built so you can check our work

Every firm comes with the reason we picked it. Every dead address gives your credit back, automatically.

Dead address? You don't pay.

Bounced or non-existent, the credit returns to your balance on its own. It shows in your credit history.

Why we picked this firm Specialist rather than generalist agency, focused on the exact roles you named, and small enough to reply personally.

Why we picked this firm Independent, under 20 staff, and their site names the investment team directly, so a good email gets read here.
Built by students, for students

This started as one student's last resort

Two years of portals. Not rejections, nothing. So I started emailing small firms directly, from my own Gmail. That term I got two offers.

Friends asked me to set it up for them. Every single one landed an internship. That's how GEN-MAX started.

Fair questions

Asked by every student

Isn't this just spam?+

No. Each email is written individually from your CV and that firm's own website, then sent one at a time from your personal Gmail. It's walking in with your CV, to a firm that genuinely fits.

Do small firms even take interns?+

Constantly. They just never advertise it. A six-person firm takes the occasional student who impresses them directly, and you may be the only one who asks all term.

Who actually receives my email?+

The real contact address on the firm's own website, which at a small firm is read by a founder or partner, not a recruitment team. On Pro we also email the founder directly where we can find them (Beta). Either way, every firm on your list is reached.

What if an address is dead?+

You don't pay for it. Bounced and non-existent addresses are detected before and after sending, and the credit goes back to your balance automatically. You can see it in your credit history.

Does the AI write my emails, or do I?+

Whichever you prefer. Write a script once and we personalise it per firm, or let the AI draft one from your CV and edit it. You preview a real example before anything sends. The AI was built with recruiters, so it writes what they actually reply to: no flattery, a few blunt sentences, a clear ask.

Will it make things up about me?+

It can't. Every email is checked against your CV before sending and anything unsupported is rewritten. You can see exactly which facts it's allowed to use.

Be the one email
they actually read.
