This week Steph & Ash kick off the Tampa Bay Tech PoweredUp Series, with the one and only Arnie Bellini. In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Arnie, visionary founder of ConnectWise, and one of the most influential leaders in Tampa Bay’s tech scene. Arnie shares the incredible story of launching ConnectWise from a small IT company into a global software powerhouse, and the bold decisions that led to its multi-billion-dollar exit.
We dive into the early challenges of growing a tech business in Tampa, and how Arnie helped transform the region into a thriving innovation hub. Most importantly, we explore his personal mission to give back—a vow he made long before his success—that he’s now fulfilling by donating millions to local initiatives, nonprofits, and causes that are shaping the future of Tampa Bay.
Boss Bites:
- Success without giving back is just a transaction—impact is the legacy.
- The pivotal moment that led to ConnectWise’s billion-dollar exit
- What leaders look for when backing the next generation of entrepreneurs
