Advantage Tech, Inc. ("ATI") was started by Andrew Marquardt and David O'Brien. Marquardt had

been practicing employment law full time, and in particular, representing computer consultants who were being sued by their agencies for alleged violations of their non-compete agreements. Marquardt felt the lawsuits exposed a problem in the industry. In particular, he believed everyone should be allowed to earn a livelihood, but some of these agencies were not seeking legitimate ends, rather they were seeking to put the consultant out of work. That type of treatment exemplified the need for a more open philosophy regarding consultants. Marquardt brought up the idea of starting a venture together with his brother-in-law, #ansas $ity %merican &oyal "arbecue in assisted in opening an ground.
