Exciting developments at the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center! As a vital 155-acre sanctuary in urban Houston, the Arboretum protects native plants and wildlife while educating over 10,000 children annually. Our team joined forces with the Arboretum’s Conservation staff to prepare for the arrival of 150 goats from Rent-A-Ruminant Texas. This innovative grazing technique aims to manage overgrown landscapes sustainably. Our team cleared paths for fencing to keep the goats in designated areas, ensuring the success of this eco-friendly solution. Additionally, Main Street proudly provided a monetary donation to support this impactful project. Learn More: https://lnkd.in/gqnSFHPK

We are proud to support the Rescued Pets Movement (RPM) in their incredible mission to transform the lives of homeless animals. By collaborating with city shelters, RPM identifies at-risk animals and provides them with essential medical care and rehabilitation, ultimately giving them a second chance at life. In early 2025, our team had the pleasure of participating in the Chefs for Paws event, where we provided a donation and sponsored a table attended by five of our employees and their significant others.

Our investment philosophy is rooted in a long-term perspective. As a publicly traded investment firm, Main Street has permanent capital, and as such, we do not have a finite fund life as is typical of most institutional investment funds. This allows us the flexibility to be long-term partners in both good economies and more challenging markets without being pressured with arbitrary investment horizons or a scheduled exit strategy imposed by other institutional investors.

We believe that the approach we take in our Lower Middle Market investment strategy is highly unique and differentiated from other investment firms.?Our flexibility to provide both the debt and equity capital necessary to fund our initial transactions with our portfolio companies and any incremental debt and equity capital necessary to fund the management team’s future organic and acquisition growth initiatives. From a letter of intent to close, there will be no surprises. Our ability to invest in both debt and equity and fully finance a transaction means that business owners and management teams can work with only one financial partner. This reduces cultural and execution risk, expediting the closing process to allow business owners and management teams to focus on what is important – their business.
