Brick & Mortar Investment Platform
Raise Capital with Mainvest
Mainvest is an investment platform that connects brick & mortar businesses with investors who care. The platform enables local businesses — restaurants, breweries, retail shops, and more — to raise growth capital from their communities and beyond.
About The Platform
What is Mainvest?
Mainvest is an investment platform that connects brick & mortar businesses with investors who care. Unlike platforms focused on tech startups, Mainvest is specifically designed for local, physical businesses — restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, retail stores, fitness studios, and other Main Street ventures.
The platform operates under Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF), allowing businesses to raise capital from both accredited and non-accredited investors. Mainvest uses a revenue-sharing model, where investors receive a return based on a percentage of the business's revenue — a structure that aligns the interests of the business and its investors.
What makes Mainvest unique is its focus on community. Investors on the platform are often customers, neighbours, and community members who want to see local businesses thrive. This creates a powerful combination of financial support and community advocacy that helps businesses grow.
