Résumé
Ann Arbor, MI

Hi, I'm Griffin Hannan.

Economics at Michigan, class of '27.

I'm a Michigan student who enjoys building things and figuring out how they work, whether it's a business, a market, or a new tool. Over the last few years I started my own company, learned to invest real money, earned my real estate license, and turned a handful of ideas into products people actually use.

Right now I'm scouting early-stage startups for 1752 Ventures, driving growth for a clinical practice, and looking for my first full-time role in venture, real estate, or finance.

A private-market investing platform I designed and prototyped end to end.

VC Company Outlooks

Writing

Early-stage companies I evaluate with a repeatable template, like an investor would.

  • I read the deck and financials, then call which capital fits: VC, growth, PE, or angel.
  • I publish my honest read on every company. The founders' decks and financials stay private.
  • Some I source myself, others reach out to me directly.

04 · The cards

The collection.

I've been collecting since I was born. In 2020 I went full-send, and now I build tools around it. It's the thing that lights me up, and it's how I learned markets before I ever opened a finance textbook.
