Startup accelerator Tampa Bay Wave has added some all-star talent to its mentor ranks, with Tribridge founder Tony DiBenedetto and myMatrixx founder Steven MacDonald being named executive entrepreneurs-in-residence.

DiBenedetto and MacDonald are the first Tampa Bay Wave mentors who’ve successfully built and/or exited a $100 million-plus company, according to a press release. They join another recent high-profile addition to the business incubator: Alex Sink, the businesswoman and one-time gubernatorial candidate who is Tampa Bay Wave’s board chair-elect.
