Main Street is on a mission to make life a fair game. We’re building a modern, full-service platform that helps high potential individuals start businesses. Think of us as Lambda School meets Shopify for business ownership - we’re combining world-class training and technology to rethink starting businesses from the ground up. We're 10x more affordable than a franchise and 10x less risky than starting a business on your own.

We’re a seed stage company (~$4.7M led by Foundation, Khosla, YC + founders of OpenDoor & DoorDash) and our team previously worked at places like DoorDash, Uber, OpenDoor and Amazon. To learn more about who we are, see our COO’s user guide here, our PM’s here.
