KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Pipeline, a Fellowship organization of high-performance entrepreneurs, presented SoftVu President & CEO Tim Donnelly with one of their most prestigious awards- the 2016 Pipeline Member Inspiration Award. This award recognizes outstanding contributions by a Pipeline Member to both the organization and its other members.

"Tim represents the heart of Pipeline," says Joni Cobb, Pipeline President & CEO. "He builds tremendous high growth companies that HELP people, he spends considerable time helping Pipeline peers with their own business and personal challenges - and he helps the entire organization through his leadership and generosity. He is an inspiration - so who better to win this award at our Celebration of the Decade!"

Tim was among the first class of fellows to complete the program in 2007. Since then, Tim has been an active member as the organization has evolved these last 10 years.

"I'm so humbled by this award," said Tim. He accepted the award at the Arvest Bank Theatre at The Midland in Kansas City last night. "This Pipeline family goes deep and yes, 10 years seems like a lifetime to an entrepreneur but the reason many of us can pay it forward is because of the foundation established by Joni, the board and all the advisors and mentors over the years. If it wasn't for your passion for what we're doing - trying to create the wealth and networth that grows to the next generation - none of us would be here."

Tim was among five Pipeline entrepreneurs nominated for this award. Jason Tatge, President/CEO/Founder, Farmobile, Kansas City; Maria Flynn, CEO, Orbis Biosciences, Kansas City; Toby Rush, CEO & Founder, EyeVerfy, Kansas City; Jennifer Amis President & CEO, Encounter Telehealth, Omaha, NE.
