Brothers Beck and Barry Besecker founded St. Petersburg-based Marxent Labs in June 2011. It has grown 100% every year over the last three years in both revenue and people, according to Beck Besecker. The company reached 40 employees and $4 million in revenue this year and expects to double both again next year. Beck handles marketing and sales while Barry concentrates on the technical side. “Do you know Star Trek?” Beck Besecker asks. “Our whole purpose is to create a holodeck.”
