Dylan Tung

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 + quantitative coursework.

• Entrepreneurial execution — built e-commerce/content business generating $65K+ GMV & major audience growth.

Areas for Development

• Increase deadline reliability & multi-week execution consistency.
• Continue building technical reps across valuation, accounting, and modeling.

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.
