Honoring the people whose vision, leadership, and determination built Austin into a world-class technology hub and innovation center.
AUSTIN, Texas, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Robert Fabbio was one of eight inductees into the Austin Technology Council Hall of Fame for his many years of launching, leading, advising, and investing in a variety of industry changing high-growth businesses in Austin, Texas.
“It’s an honor to be recognized with the other inductees as someone who helped drive the business growth in Austin,” said Bob Fabbio. “In 1989, when I launched Tivoli Systems, Austin was a small town with very few large-scale entrepreneurial endeavors. Ultimately, Tivoli System’s employees went on to spawn 100s of other businesses in Austin, Texas.”
“The Austin Tech Council Hall of Fame was created to celebrate the past, be present in the now, and to look to the future if our tech ecosystem. Bob is one of this year’s legacy / foundational inductee… and is a good example of someone who has started successful companies, invested in entrepreneurial ventures, and mentored leaders,” said Thom Singer, Austin Technology Council CEO.
Through almost 40 years, Fabbio has run 9 companies, been in 9 startups, founded 7 companies, raised $100M’s in capital, sat on numerous company boards, advised countless entrepreneurs, businesses, and employees, employed 1000s of people, and ultimately, helped create nearly $2B of shareholder value, at time of exit. Some of his notable companies include Tivoli Systems, Dazel Corporation, Agere Systems, WhiteGlove Health, and Welltok, Inc. to name a few. “And I’m not done!” said Fabbio.
Fabbio gravitates to “big ideas” that challenge the status quo to “change the rules” on the incumbents in an industry. And he has done it repeatedly and continues to. In early 2022, Fabbio launched Norrio Capital Partners with the intention of using advanced technology to drive consistent, superior, uncorrelated returns and change the rules on the Hedge Fund Industry by automating everything; and Norrio is well on their way of doing just that. In 2024, Norrio’s Fund generated 37.8% (net of fees) and eliminated much of the cost typically found in a traditional Hedge Fund organization.
