Tampa's ConnectWise Capital Celebrates Tech Investments
TAMPA - ConnectWise Capital, formed to incubate emerging IT channel technologies, support new IT channel vendors and emerging industry leaders that provide innovative solutions to the IT Nation, today celebrated its first year of investments and the success of its 2010 funded companies. ConnectWise Capital targets emerging products and services that create market advantages and new opportunities for the IT channel, particularly among the 49,000-plus users of ConnectWise software.
ConnectWise plans to invest further in early 2011, an effort that is headed by Gerwai Todd, ConnectWise director of strategy. Todd has been tasked with executing on the ConnectWise Capital strategy after leading ConnectWise sales efforts to record levels over the previous 2-plus years. Investment candidates are channel-focused companies that offer IT solution providers opportunities to deploy and manage resources their clients most rely on in a Modern Office™ such as VoIP, email management, network storage and security, cloud computing, and telecommuting/mobile workforce support.
"Our portfolio companies impressed us with their ability to take the funds we provided them and exponentially grow their businesses by offering members of our solution provider community the products and services that they themselves need to prosper," said David Bellini, ConnectWise co-founder and chief operating officer, who heads ConnectWise Capital. "The ecosystem we have developed through our investment arm is a symbiotic one that allows not only individual members to benefit from our commitment to their success but ensures that the entire community grows through increased market opportunities. Our first year can be considered nothing but a success and we are invigorated to expand our portfolio well into the future."
