Gabe O'Neill — The Godfather of the Video Business Card.
The Founder

Founder-led means personal accountability.

Digital Accelerant was officially launched in 2016. Gabe is the creative, the tech, and currently the sales staff.

Clients appreciate that they are dealing directly with the founder — not a rep going through the motions.

The Philosophy

Reputation first. Value always.

Gabe has always believed that reputation is more important than money. That principle shapes how Digital Accelerant builds, supports, and improves every client experience.

The Evolution

What began as a better business card became a platform.

Video Business Cards™

What started as a way for people to quickly learn about Gabe’s work ethic grew into a powerful system with video, texting, lead capture, and follow-up.

Virtual Video Book™

Created out of necessity, the Virtual Video Book™ breaks complex presentations into polished video chapters with branded calls to action.

Accelerant Chat™

Built from real experimentation with AI, Accelerant Chat™ uses client-specific knowledge and embedding-based search to answer questions more naturally and accurately.
