David Carmell
Founder at DEALROCKiT LLC
Chicago, United States
“Why wouldn’t every startup & growth company want to be on DealRockit?" remarked a senior banker.
In the COVID-19 economy, all of us – individuals and businesses alike – are looking for a new way forward. The pressure on enterprises to better serve clients, grow and move up the value chain is palpable. Many, due to their sheer size, have been unable to innovate enough internally to elevate customer experience, creating a major problem. Until Now.
David Carmell is the founder of DEALROCKiT, the breakthrough new digital marketplace and membership community that makes it easy to fund and scale your business, practice, or next act. David is a passionate entrepreneur and serial acquirer who felt there had to be a better way for the small business ecosystem (current and prospective small business buyers, sellers, owners, investors, aspirers, and providers) to accelerate transactions, fast-track growth, and navigate change. He recognized finding a better way required building something new. One that fortifies individuals and ecosystems alike - making access and opportunity available to more people and businesses than ever before.
With that in mind, David set out to create a self-driving "I can take it from here" solution that revolutionizes business development and connects business stakeholders in unprecedented ways. DealRockit's marketplace platform accelerates interactions and transactions that save time and ROCKiT growth for paid and invited members. Using proprietary membership and matching features, DealRockit transforms how individuals, firms, and enterprises alike connect, collaborate and close. DealRockit's novel technologies solve significant business problems, acting as powerful growth engines that pull others with it.
David is an attorney, entrepreneur and CEO of both DealRockit and the strategic management firm, CSuite Advantage. He advises and speaks on business issues cutting across diverse industries including accounting, banking, financial/professional services, insurance, law, SaaS and technology. Despite the troubling COVID-19 waters, David believes we have an historic opportunity to jumpstart a decimated economy by remaking a business ecosystem that is better and far more inclusive than the one we have left behind.
As a business owner who has both "sat in the chair" and acquired and diligenced numerous businesses, David is a recognized global top 50 thought leader on COVID-19 business impact,, customer experience, innovation and startups. Recently he has contributed to Coruzant Technologies, Digital Executive, Entrepreneur Way, HuffPost, Medium, Office Hours with David Meltzer, PaymentsSource and Thrive Global for his expertise on business growth, innovation, customer experience, leadership, COVID-19 business solutions, business development, small business, and transaction/transition optimization.

It's Time To Flip The Script & Change The Ultimate Definition Of Exclusion
LinkedIn
October 13, 2023
The catastrophic losses of 1200 innocent Israelis, 40 decapitated babies, and young children assassinated in front of their parents, leaving them with that harrowing image as their last memory before death – all of this makes you realize that the signs were always there, right in front of us. In this article, I delve into the concept of inclusion, and how exclusion, even to the point of violence, is a grim reality faced by some, reminding us of the importance of unity and speaking out against bias and hate.

How Access + Level Playing Field Makes You The Biggest Winner of All
Coruzant Technologies
January 10, 2023
Going into 2023 much has changed for the VC ecosystem and public markets. Bill Gurley, general partner at Benchmark, put it best when he tweeted that the days of free Fed cocktails are over. “The ‘unlearning’ process could be painful, surprising, and unsettling to many.” Gurley’s candidness sets the stage for “How Access + Level Playing Makes You the Biggest Winner of All,” establishing the immediate need for simultaneous mindset change and market overhaul.
How “Big Guy/Little Guy” Collaboration Can Help Insurance Soar
Corizant Technologies
June 10, 2022
A funny thing happened while recently attending Insurtech Insights USA 2022 in NYC; I realized that the insurance industry needs an insurance policy. Personally, I went to the conference to listen, learn, and engage, all the while wondering whether an industry not known for innovation and reimagination – in the words of W.R. Berkley’s Rob Berkley, not mine – would be receptive to a radically different, ready-made approach that’s faster, easier, and more cost-effective and scalable than existing solutions?
How “Big Guy/Little Guy” Collaboration Can Help MLB Go Yard Again
Coruzant Technologies
March 16, 2022
It’s nice to see that baseball is back with Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) reaching a hard-fought last-minute agreement ending the 3+ month lockout. Now the difficult part begins — repairing relationships between players and owners. It seems MLB commissioner Rob Manfred for one got the memo when he candidly stated: “One of the things that I’m supposed to do is promote a good relationship with our players. I’ve tried to do that. I have not been successful in that.”
Wow!
I’ve got to ask you, when was the last time you witnessed a well-known CEO admit publicly to a leadership or strategic shortcoming?
Pivoting Is Not Just for Basketball Players
Coruzant Magazine/Coruzant Technologies
December 16, 2021
Pivoting Is Not Just for Basketball Players looks at how even the most successful and powerful organizations need to pivot. In the past, the MLBPA never joined forces with anyone. They were so successful and powerful that they could always go it alone. That is why the coming together of the MLBPA and the NFLPA to create the player licensing juggernaut OneTeam Partners caught my attention.

August 10, 2020
To manage and grow during an ongoing and post-COVID-19 world, technology firms must improve their business and partner connections while also boosting the customer experience. They need to enter a new era of collaboration and innovation, where the big players and startup-size firms work together for mutual gain. The emerging “new normal” is already showing the need for seamless and engaging digital experiences. To capably provide these experiences, firms need agility and to develop their business “ecosystems” to connect with the right partners and customers.

COVID-19 has changed the world and the business landscape irreversibly. For some, the federal intervention and ensuing government rescue programs may be too little too late.

In the COVID-19 economy, all of us are looking for a new way forward, a solution to the challenges of the current crisis.

The Face of Business Inclusion in a Post COVID-19 World
Coruzant Technologies
May 18, 2020
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines inclusion as “the act of including: the state of being included”. Thus, by its very definition those not included are excluded and herein lies the rub. For the financial and service sectors, and greater society, solving the inclusion/exclusion problem has profound implications for how we emerge from the pandemic and transition effectively to the COVID-19 economy.
What do Avocados have in common with Amazon, External Partnerships and Ecosystem Investing?

"What do Avocados have in common with Amazon, External Partnerships and Ecosystem Investing?" is my latest article. Yesterday, in Business Development: The New Frontier for Customer Acquisition & Client Engagement https://lnkd.in/eYgHWEG, I examined how ecosystem investing (EI) and external partnerships were the way forward for large firms and enterprises to be forces for good, rainmakers and innovators. A way to be at the epicenter of accelerating transactions, fast-tracking growth and navigating change. Today, in a shorter piece, I highlight the works of Merkle’s Janine Flaccavento and Danielle Waller. Both Flaccavento and Waller bring to light the vast opportunities external partnerships and business ecosystems can bring to your business and relationships. I encourage you to read on and learn more. Thank you!

DealRockit’s new breakthrough digital marketplace and business development technology, ecosystem investing (EI), does just.

These firms, like DealRockit, not only want to help you succeed but will also help align and grow your ecosystem in a hurry.

Why Jamie Dimon Has a Better Prognosis Than Owners of Closely Held Businesses
HuffPost
December 06, 2017
The business world has been abuzz with succession speculation at JPMorgan Chase following the jaw-dropping announcement that its leader, Jamie Dimon, has throat cancer. Fortunately, in Mr. Dimon’s own words, it appears the cancer has been caught in time with the future prognosis being “excellent” — both for Mr. Dimon and succession at JPMorgan Chase. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the state of succession at most closely held businesses. If succession was a disease, it would be moved to the top of the critical list. The situation is that bad.

Success(ion) Planning: Tick-Tock the Boss is on the Clock
Texas Bar Association (Course 901303913)
October 01, 2014
Tick-Tock the Boss is on the Clock, is a call to action. Most business
owners do not have a written succession plan and are ill prepared to sell, merge or transfer their
business. If you want to get your blood rushing again or simply love to tackle difficult subjects,
succession planning is the ticket to becoming a trusted advisor. You will distinguish yourself from
the competition and make a transformational difference in your clients’ lives by helping them
combat the number one threat to closely held businesses – succession planning. If succession
was a disease, it would be moved to the top of the critical list. The situation is that bad.
