Tim Holcomb is the CEO of the Embarc Collective, a Tampa-based nonprofit helping startup founders build bold, scalable companies through coaching, connection, and community.
In this episode, Tim sits down with Sarina Gandy to explore how Embarc Collective is shaping Tampa Bay’s growing innovation ecosystem by supporting founders through every stage of the startup journey. The two discuss Embarc’s unique approach to founder support, the importance of community in entrepreneurship, the evolving role of cybersecurity and emerging technology in the region, and how partnerships with organizations like the University of South Florida are helping strengthen Tampa Bay’s future workforce.
Tim also reflects on his own career journey across industries and countries — and the full-circle experiences that eventually led him back to entrepreneurship and leadership in Tampa Bay.
