Sam Dunn Email & Phone Number

As an MS Finance candidate at USC Marshall, I am passionate about learning how to value firms and make investments into potentially undervalued or high growth potential ideas and/or businesses. I have a strong academic background in business administration and finance. I also have a certification in R for Data Science from LinkedIn, which enhances my analytical and visualization skills.I have gained valuable hands-on experience in the fields of equity research, venture capital, entrepreneurship, and growth hacking through various internships and projects. Most recently, I performed independent equity research on publicly traded US companies, primarily in the industrials sector using 3 statement models and then writing reports overviewing my valuation opinion as well as how the company's stock fits into a portfolio. Prior to that, as a Special Projects Intern at VentureTwelve, I built and presented a valuation model for a portfolio company, drafted and refined NDAs, and constructed a job posting and hiring process. I also collaborated with five highly successful entrepreneurs to devise a curriculum for aspiring entrepreneurs at GiveVentures, and led the growth hacking efforts for serviceMob. Through these roles, I developed and demonstrated my skills in writing, M&A, financial accounting, SEO, sales pipeline, and unit economics. I am eager to apply and expand my knowledge and skills in the finance and investment industry, and to contribute to the success of innovative and impactful ventures.
