David Hunt’s early battle with childhood chemotherapy forged in him an unyielding spirit, propelling him to dedicate his life to making a positive impact. In addition to his work, each year he serves as a counselor at Camp C.A.R.E. supporting children with cancer.
David’s contributions extend far beyond the realm of community service. He’s the visionary founder of Framewrk, a company that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence and community collaboration to steer startups and small businesses toward the attainment of a minimum $1 million in net profit. His impactful journey is marked by a diverse professional history. He’s navigated the corridors of experience at Fortune 500 companies, delved into the intricacies of venture capital, invested in multiple startups and small businesses, worked at a Shark Tank funded startup (acquired by Sallie Mae), and displays an unparalleled dedication to turning bold visions into reality.
David’s work was recently recognized by the broader Charlotte community. He was the recent recipient of the Innovation and Tech Award from the CLT Alliance Foundation, which celebrated excellence in business.
“The work is not finished; I mean, not even close,” he said. “But that’s okay because that’s fun and something that’s inspiring.”
David’s journey, however, isn’t just about career milestones. It’s also etched in the realm of authorship, as he’s penned two influential books, including the acclaimed “Inevitable: The Founder Handbook for Day Zero.” His voice resonates on panels about socioeconomic mobility and economic empowerment. But what truly sets him apart is his ability to forge meaningful connections, to peel back layers and ask questions that dive deeper, fostering an environment where vulnerability is celebrated as a catalyst of potential.
David’s narrative is about the remarkable power of resilience and enduring impact on the world.
“Innovation and technology can lift the tide of economic parity and economic growth and skills, but we have to make that choice,” he said.
