Brian Dunn
Brian Dunn is the CEO of Growth Capital Services, a firm he
founded in 2001. In addition to providing regulatory infrastructure for
affiliated private placement agents, he uses his network to vet deals for a
select group of individual and institutional investor clients.
Previously, Brian was a founding partner of Aquillian Investments, a leading private investment firm oriented towards sustainability. He guided the firm's financial, legal, and operational implementation, and participated in the firm’s key management decisions. In his current capacity at Growth Capital Services, he maintains a strategic affiliation with Aquillian, calling on its research capabilities and serving on its advisory board.
In the late 1990’s, he served as the first staff member of Investors' Circle, a national angel investment group that has facilitated more than $150 million in private investment capital. In this capacity, he evaluated thousands of early stage investment opportunities, cultivated a network of investor interest, and gained key experience in operating a small, growing firm. He continues to support Investors’ Circle on its deal selection committee and as a speaker, sponsor and member.
Brian has canoed the Congo, Yukon, and Amazon; bicycled from San Francisco to New York; and stepped on the soil of nearly one hundred countries. His pre-graduate professional resume ranges from Ouagadougou (West Africa) to Coldfoot (northern Alaska), with additional stops at Brazil, Haiti and Mozambique.
Now settled in San Francisco with his wife and daughter, he swims frequently in the Bay's cold waters, and is proud to serve on the board of Save the Bay, a 50 year old organization that has had great success in protecting, restoring and celebrating San Francisco Bay.
Brian has FINRA Series 7, Series 24, Series 27, Series 63, and Series 65 registrations. He earned a BA from UC Berkeley, an MA in International Economics from Johns Hopkins University, and an MBA from the Wharton School of Business.
