Any savvy investor should take note of the innovation occurring at a hyper-local level. With valuations for tech companies and alternative investments at an all-time high, Nick Mathews, CEO of Mainvest, is here to remind investors to consider more sustainable, albeit smaller, opportunities. That’s exactly why he and his team is working with the smallest firms on growth strategies that offer unique opportunities to investors at all levels.
Nick Mathews and his team are helping to rebuild the American Dream, one small business at a time. An expert in marketing and operational strategy, Nick led the team that launched Uber in Boston back in 2013. While launching Uber in new markets, both suburban and urban, he experienced firsthand local challenges around economic development. He founded Mainvest in 2018 with the goal of empowering communities to determine their own economic development, utilizing new regulations and novel investment vehicles to align incentives between local community members and small businesses. Now, retail investors can access the type of tangible small business investments that were previously inaccessible or impossible.
Mainvest is an invest marketplace connecting everyday investors with vetted SMBs. We allow small businesses to secure flexible capital in the form of community investment while giving retail investors access to previously inaccessible investment opportunities in an emerging asset class. Through Mainvest, small businesses who previously struggled to access growth capital can use community investment to fuel their growth. Meanwhile, investors across socioeconomic status and experience level can build a localized portfolio of previously inaccessible small businesses. Using new regulations made possible under the JOBS Act, Mainvest is on a mission to democratize access to capital and access to investment, disrupting the way that local economies grow. Mainvest is a Regulation Crowdfunding (RegCF) portal regulated by FINRA.
