On Tuesday, Sept. 1, the Venture Center’s Build IT! Founder Fireside Chat features Johnny Burgess, Mark McClelland and Jeff Byers of Mainstream Technologies.
Mainstream has been named to the INC5000 list of the fastest-growing, private companies in America three years in a row.
Little Rock-based Mainstream provides managed services, custom software and hosting services.
“These Arkansas leaders had full-time jobs when they signed their first seven-figure software development contract,” said a news release about the event. “The company that grew from those early days by producing mainframe productivity tools for application developers — the early precursor to modern DevOps.”
Attendees will have the chance to participate in a Q&A with the Mainstream co-founders.
Each Build IT! features a discussion with a business founder discussing challenges, opportunities and lessons learned while starting and growing their company.
