Mikhail Glukhov

• USC Marshall — Finance & Business Economics Nov 2025 – Present
  Research Assistant to Professor Rodney Ramcharan
  What I did

  • Built a Python ETL pipeline that processed 1,303,758 ProQuest TDM Studio newspaper documents from 1950–2002 into 18,070,399 candidate rate observations.
  • Designed block-level institution and product binding, regulatory and plausibility tests, and an auditable three-tier evidence system that retained 401,597 offers passing the stated gates.
  • Clustered 33,857 institution-name strings into 17,680 entities and recorded the evidence rung behind every assigned lender location.
  • Deliver written reports and statistical summaries to Professor Rodney Ramcharan as the research continues.

  The research remains unpublished. Counts describe rows passing evidence gates, not measured precision.

• Voglio Nov 2025 – Present
  Chief Financial Officer
  What I did

  • Built a 3-year Excel pro forma projecting $4.39M of Year-3 revenue from subscription and venue-advertising streams; all forward figures are assumptions, not realised results.
  • Modelled premium conversion, app-store fees, venue revenue, CAC, infrastructure costs, operating expenses and an illustrative LTV using a one-year customer lifetime.
  • Built the VC presentation and recruited two interns to gather supporting information; Voglio progressed through the competition's initial stage.
  • Planned three social-video shoots for campaigns in Mykonos, Rome and Los Angeles/Long Beach; other team members executed the shoots and Voglio published the videos.

  The $4.39M figure is an assumption-driven projection. Approximately $325K is a fundraising target, not capital raised.

• Brave — early-stage consumer startup May 2025 – Sep 2025
  Marketing & Outreach Intern
  What I did

  • Built and maintained the outreach database and wrote an automation script that generated personalised messages from it, contacting 550+ influencers, engineers and partner organisations.
  • Sourced and screened the founding technical team, including two CTO-level engineers; organised partner calls and closed one influencer partnership.
  • Built partnerships with university IT clubs and student networks.

  Internal growth multiples from this role are omitted: they were self-reported by a private company with no external source.

• USC Global Investment Society Sep 2024 – Present
  Member — Investment Academy
  What I did

  • Investment Academy, Feb–Jun 2025: led a 4-member team pitching Overweight on Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC); jointly built the 10-year DCF and comparable-companies analysis with a teammate.
  • Analysed six years of income statement, balance sheet and cash flow performance via Capital IQ to underpin the investment thesis.
  • Explore Program, Sep 2024 – Jan 2025.

Each page states its question, method, assumptions, data source and as-of date, and ends with what I would do differently. Valuation work is an academic exercise, not investment advice.
