David Feinman On Always Having the Entrepreneurial Spirit. Even From A Young Age

David Feinman is the Co-Founder and CEO of Viral Ideas, a Philadelphia-based productized video-editing agency on a mission to make creativity simple, impactful, and scalable. Over the past decade he has directed, produced, and edited thousands of videos for brands such as eBay and Johnson & Johnson—proving that great storytelling can be both artful and repeatable. David’s entrepreneurial journey began with launching The Zombie Run, one of the first nationwide 5K obstacle races that gamified fitness by immersing runners in a post-apocalyptic chase. The event’s viral success taught him how to blend memorable experiences with smart marketing—principles he now scales for clients every day. Under his leadership, Viral Ideas has become a seven-figure operation powered by a global team of editors, project managers, and AI-enhanced workflows that turn raw footage into scroll-stopping content at speed. Beyond steering daily operations, David hosts the “What It Takes” podcast, advises creative-service founders on systematizing their businesses, and is actively acquiring complementary agencies to expand Viral Ideas’ reach. A lifelong Philadelphian, marathon runner, and champion of continuous learning, David pairs human imagination with cutting-edge technology so that big ideas spread faster and farther than ever before.
