THE PERSON BEHIND DEALCOMMONS / NEW YORK

Daniel Dong

Daniel Dong

Real deal experience.
Practical perspective for owners.

Investment banker with over 15 years of experience advising founders, public companies, and private equity firms on M&A and capital markets transactions across industries.

The perspective I share comes from hands-on deal work: analyzing financials, shaping a business’s story, navigating diligence, and working through the issues that arise along the way. I created DealCommons to make those lessons accessible—so business owners can ask better questions, prepare thoughtfully, and make informed decisions.
