Our Story
UNC's first M&A organization
Built around one idea: the fastest way to learn how deals work is to source one, value it, and defend it in front of a room with the most successful finance students at UNC.
Founding
UMAG was founded by David Bass and Aryan Shelke in 2023, and they spun off the UNC M&A Group from the Carolina Investment Group. UNC M&A Group officially joined the UNC Finance Society in Fall 2025.
