Create a company profileWe help startups and small businesses extend their runways by connecting them with government stimulus programs, tax credits, and hiring incentives. Whew, that’s a mouthful. In simpler terms, we help founders find cash they didn’t know they were owed. Navigating government tax credits and incentives is no easy task. Founders and business owners rarely have the bandwidth, time, or resources to pursue these programs and as a result, billions of dollars are left on the table. That’s where we come in. We take the guesswork out of government and pass the cash savings onto small businesses. But before we dive into how it works, let’s talk about the team that makes it all happen. This isn’t our first rodeo. Our founders are ex-Google employees and successful tech startup founders. Doug Ludlow, co-founder and CEO, started MainStreet as a response to the massive impact that departing big business brought on his hometown. The small businesses that remained didn’t survive for long and the economy declined along with them. This is the unfortunate truth for towns across the U.S., where many small businesses lack resources and struggle to stay afloat. At MainStreet, we want to be the small business lifeline that makes a long-standing impact on our economy. And we won’t stop until we’ve helped every small business. The IRS bookmarks $150B in annual tax credits and incentives for U.S. companies researching and developing new products (aka “R&D”). These incentives are impactful, but they’re also complex and time-consuming. Small business owners just don’t have the capacity to cut through the red tape and claim the cash they’re owed. That’s where we come in. We plug directly into their payroll software to see what they’re owed across dozens of credits. We take the guesswork out of government and pass the savings back to our customers. The best part? The average venture-backed startup finds $51,040 on their first call with us.
The Motley Fool’s purpose is to make the world smarter, happier, and richer. While other companies may make you smarter, happier, or richer, we aim to do all three by providing outstanding business and investing advice — with a decidedly Foolish bent. Our name is in homage to the one character in Shakespearean literature — the court jester — who could speak the truth to the king and queen without having his or her head lopped off. The Fools of yore entertained the court with humor that instructed as it amused. More importantly, the Fool was never afraid to question conventional wisdom. We believe in treating every dollar as an investment in the future you want to create. We believe that investing in great businesses, for the long term, is the most effective path to wealth. We believe in the power of a community to learn and grow together. We believe in keeping score and being transparent in our investment performance. We strive to fulfill our purpose by truly serving every Fool, from our employees to our members to our community. We provide a variety of solutions to improve many areas of your financial life, including your investment portfolio, personal finances, real estate holdings, company, and career. The Motley Fool is headquartered in Alexandria, Va., with offices in Denver and Sydney, Australia, and serves investors and businesses in the UK, Australia, Hong Kong, Canada, Singapore, and Germany.

In 1997, four advisors sharing an office space discovered they also shared an essential belief: The financial services industry needed a new and better way to provide advice to clients—one that would help relieve stress from their clients’ financial lives.
