| SVN Innovation Award Sponsor: Main Street Resources |
SVN Networker
JANUARY 2009
Main Street Resources, founded and run by SVNer Dan Levinson, is a unique private equity firm in Connecticut that provides investment capital and resources to companies and people with great potential. The firm provides growth and transition capital for growing companies in the Northeast—always in partnership with management—and operates as a guild with its over 100 CEO local value-add investors. Main Street backs good teams running good companies. "Good teams"—in addition to being professionally productive—means honest, thoughtful, giving and overall good citizens. "Good companies"—in addition to being profitable—means environmentally clean, healthcare for all employees, and strong community supporters.
The Main Street management team has also historically donated roughly 10-20% of its Main Street income in support of a wide range of charitable activities in such areas as the environment, social and economic justice, and the local economy. For example, Main Street recently co-founded and sponsored Westport Green Village Initiative ("GVI"), a mission-driven grass roots facilitator and catalyst organization that supports people and organizations passionate about creating local environmental and community change.
Main Street is preparing to launch its third fund later this year—targeting long term minority growth and transition capital for good companies. Given the economic environment, there will be many worthy companies in need of capital and support. Main Street is optimistic this next fund will offer strong financial and non-financial returns to traditional as well as SRI investors.
