Overview

Dylan brings one of the most unique profiles in the Diamond League class — a non-traditional major in Viticulture & Enology, a 3.8 GPA, and a national-level polo résumé layered on top of entrepreneurial and investing experience. His Chip on Your Shoulder wiring shows up clearly: he has consistently played up against better-resourced opponents and entered recruiting later and from a non-traditional path, using those headwinds as motivation to close the gap.

His work across investing, entrepreneurship, operations, and athletics gives him a differentiated lens — he thinks like someone who has lived the operator side, not just analyzed it. When fully locked into the MAP system, Dylan shows upside as a creative, resilient analyst with a marketer’s eye and an operator’s intuition.

Strengths

Chip-on-your-shoulder mindset: Uses late start in IB recruiting and resource gaps in polo as fuel to outwork peers.
Strong academic foundation: 3.8 GPA with rigorous science and quantitative coursework.
Real investing exposure: Analyst experience sourcing deals, analyzing niche markets, and evaluating B2B services.
Entrepreneurial execution: Built e-commerce + content operations generating $65K+ in GMV and tens of thousands of followers.
High-performance athletics: National-level polo and Cornell D-I polo experience requiring discipline and composure under pressure.
Leadership experience: RA for 450+ students — real crisis management, conflict resolution, and community building.

Areas for Development

Strengthen deadline reliability and multi-week execution to align performance with his underlying upside.
Continue building IB-specific technical reps in valuation, accounting, and modeling.
Refine interview storytelling using structured, banker-friendly narratives drawn from rich entrepreneurial + athletic experiences.

Projection

Dylan projects as a Round 3–4 MAP prospect with clear upside characteristics — grit, resourcefulness, and a differentiated background. With continued reliability and technical reps, he could grow into a uniquely valuable analyst who blends operator intuition with entrepreneurial creativity and a resilient, competitor mindset.
