Business Live Show with Brad Smith and Clint Fiore | Construct your life #774

Welcome back to Construct your life! In this week’s special Business Live show, Brad and I sat down with Clint Fiore, founder of Dealonomy, to unpack one of the most innovative shifts happening in the business brokerage world right now.

After a decade of helping entrepreneurs buy and sell companies, Clint decided to flip the model on its head. Instead of catering to sellers like every traditional brokerage, Dealonomy is designed to be the most buyer-friendly platform on the planet. Think of it as a curated, high-quality marketplace — no more messy listings, ghost brokers, or bait-and-switch deals.

Clint breaks down how he raised $3 million, built a tech-driven team, and created a system that makes buying and selling businesses faster, smoother, and more transparent — all while keeping relationships at the center of the process.

We talk about what buyers get wrong, how to stand out as a great buyer, and why empathy, patience, and listening skills are still the ultimate deal-closing tools.

This one’s for entrepreneurs, dealmakers, and searchers who are tired of the old-school M&A grind and ready to see how technology and heart can actually work together to change the game.

Key Highlights:

- How Clint flipped the traditional brokerage model — from sell-side to buy-side focused.

- The $3M raise that built Dealonomy, and how he assembled an all-star investor and advisory team.

- Why most business marketplaces fail — and how Dealonomy vets only “good deals for good people.”

- The platform’s AI-powered financial analysis that streamlines valuations and offers real-time insights.

- The “freemium” membership model that aligns incentives with serious buyers.

- How buyers can stand out by leading with empathy, clarity, and strong communication.

- Why relationship skills are becoming more important than ever in a high-tech world.

- The long-term vision: becoming the trusted, quality-first platform people think of before BizBuySell.
