View Open RolesOur goal from day one has been to enable and make the process of starting a business simple and easy for our customers. We want to help you begin your entrepreneurial journey with the right set of tools and resources. Similar to Meesho, our platform will remove the headache of dealing with multiple parties and provide all services in one place.
Our customers should spend more time making money and not managing a complicated back office. Similar to OYO, we provide an end to end platform all the things you will need to run your business. Our back-end technology incorporates estimation tooling, invoicing, payment, and customer relationship management. From engaging in a potential job to serving a customer for life, Main Street has our customers covered.
We provide best-in-class lead generation services to all of our customers - something that no franchiser can claim. Our owners save the highly opaque ~10% “marketing fee” that a franchiser might charge. An owner whose business is Powered by Main Street simply needs to hire, convert leads, and complete jobs.
Start a home painting business
Painting business owners do not have to be expert painters. In fact, many of our owners had no painting experience prior to working with Main Street. You can run a highly successful painting business wtih the right knowledge, strategies and a team.

We are autonomous and open minded. We believe that a lot of startup ideology is built on impractical idealism. It appears to us that a lot of the startup community forgot that the point of a startup is to build a business that produces return, not to have seven different kombucha flavors on tap. We are interested in working with people that have the "startup" ability to find low cost creative solutions to problems but think of a company from a data-driven perspective. Our culture, like our company, is evolving, and not static. We expect our ideas to evolve over time.
We build on the shoulders of giants. If we have an idea, we spend 2 hours researching instead of 20 hours guessing.
We do not work well with people who needs a lot of instruction
Company decisions are not bound by the Overton Window. We are willing to consider the unorthodox and weigh the trade offs.
We work best with people that approach problems from a hacker mindset. Folks that want to throw away the playbook.
Building a company is hard work, and every colleague at Main Street contributes like crazy. Nobody will hold you back.
Over 60% of Americans want to own a business. But why don’t more pursue their dreams? The technology exists, the information is online, and ideas are a dime a dozen. For aspiring small business owners, the problem is that starting a business requires too much sacrifice; it’s either too long time-to-value (“going solo” is often a strenuous expedition) or too expensive (franchises require $100K or more in initial financing).
The value of a modern franchisor lies in its brand and process know-how. They know how to source a product. They know what systems to use. They know what ingredients or formula to use to produce a product. Prior to the internet, the distribution of this information was labor intensive which is why they got away with a six figure price tag. But the internet dramatically lowered the cost of distribution and has the ability to level the playing field. We are in a digital world where keeping the “know-how” behind the steel curtains of the franchisor inhibits economic development, but franchisors have yet to adopt.
