SUMMARY:CEO Conversations with Brett Hurt & Mark McClain
DESCRIPTION:Join the Austin technology community in a fireside chat with Brett Hurt & Mark McClain. Brett and Mark will dive into what it means to build culture for a scaling company in 2021 and beyond.

Brett is also the co-owner of Hurt Family Investments (HFI)\, alongside his wife\, Debra. HFI are involved in 85 startups\, 27 VC funds\, and multiple philanthropic endeavors. \nBrett co-founded and led Bazaarvoice as CEO\, through its IPO\, follow-on offering\, and two acquisitions. Bazaarvoice became the largest public SaaS (Software as a Service) business in social commerce and was named by the WSJ as one of the top IPOs of 2012. Brett also founded and led Coremetrics\, which was rated the #1 Web analytics solution by Forrester Research and\, like Bazaarvoice\, expanded into a global company and leader. Coremetrics was acquired by IBM in 2010 for around $300m. \nIn 2017\, Brett was given the Best CEO Legacy Award by the Austin Business Journal.

Under Mark’s direction\, the company has grown into a publicly recognized leader in its market. Mark directs and drives the overall vision and strategy for SailPoint\, which is underpinned by his commitment and passion for building top-performing teams\, creating a collaborative and innovative work environment\, and focusing continuously on the needs of customers. \nTeaming is a concept that Mark promotes throughout the company: teaming with forward-thinking customers to understand their needs\, with partners to ensure customer success\, and ultimately within SailPoint to develop innovative\, market-leading solutions. Mark is passionate about maintaining the spirit of teamwork\, even as SailPoint grows its employee base and its global presence to offices around the world. \nPrior to SailPoint\, he co-founded Waveset Technologies\, which was ultimately acquired by Sun Microsystems.

SUMMARY:VR: Your PPP Loan - Further Updates and Expectations with vcfo
DESCRIPTION:vcfo invites you to join three of financial experts to discuss managing your PPP loan\, calculating debt forgiveness\, and the latest updates. vcfo’s Jennifer Lennarz\, Consulting CFO; Regina Walters\, Consulting CFO; and Darrell Tesmer\, Chief Compliance Officer & EVP; will provide detailed information on the latest guidance from the SBA\, maximizing loan forgiveness\, and future expectations. \nAbout vcfo: \nFounded in 1996\, vcfo’s original core offering was fractional or part-time CFO solutions. The company’s services have long since evolved to include an integrated suite of finance\, HR\, and recruiting support\, including outsourcing and consulting solutions that improve operational performance and optimize productivity. \nRegarding the postponement: \nATC’s Finance Friday Virtual Roundtable: Your PPP Loan: Further Updates and Expectations. ATC and vcfo have chosen to reschedule tomorrow’s webinar until Friday\, June 12 at 9:30 AM CST. \nAs you may have heard\, overnight the Senate passed the “Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020” and has sent it to the President for signature. This legislation updates PPP rules and regulations\, including\, but not limited to a timeline extension and an increase in the percentage of loan proceeds that may be spent on non-payroll costs. Our teams believe that postponement is in everyone’s best interest until there is further interpretation and guidance associated with the new legislation so that we are as accurate as possible when presenting this information to the local tech business leaders. \nWe appreciate your patience\, and are looking forward to our next Virtual Roundtable discussion with vcfo

SUMMARY:Open Forum: Identifying and Combating Bias and Racism in the Tech Ecosystem
DESCRIPTION:Industry hiring data released by technology companies show they vastly under-employ African Americans and Hispanics. Many within the industry admit they have work to do but often cite a “pipeline problem” as a key factor in their inability to hire more computer scientists of color. \nThe tech community can no longer afford to offer only “thoughts and prayers” or make unfulfilled promises to do better and try harder. During this initial open forum\, our panelists will address the overt and covert ways communities of color are marginalized\, specifically in the tech community. Panelists will also brainstorm and welcome input from the audience about how allies can combat racism in our ecosystem. Every industry and system has fed into the climate we find ourselves in today. It is our responsibility as a tech community to highlight and uplift the voices that need to be heard and find ways to support innovation that accelerate equality for people who have historically and deliberately been excluded from it. ATC is inviting tech leaders to share their experience and expertise to finally break the cycle of recurring and devastating events that plague the black community\, most recently\, that of the murder of George Floyd. \nJoin your peers in this important discussion to dismantle the system of oppression and inequality that have ultimately brought us to this watershed moment. A special thanks to the panelists who are volunteering their time for this open forum: \nLauren Washington\, Cofounder of Black Women Talk Tech and Fundr \nPhil Walker\, Managing Partner at Career Partners International \nPreston James\, CEO & Cofounder of DivInc.\, \nWho should attend: Tech and tech-adjacent CEO’s\, Founders\, Innovators\, Influencers
