History

Main Street’s predecessor investment funds were originally founded in 1997. Since that time, Main Street has founded, purchased or financed lower middle market investments in over 80 companies in numerous industry segments. In addition to these lower middle market investments, Main Street has also completed debt investments in a variety of middle market businesses that are generally larger in size than its lower middle market portfolio companies. The core members of Main Street Capital Corporation’s management team have over 100 years of collective investment experience and have worked together since Main Street Mezzanine Fund, LP’s formation in 2002.

Main Street predecessor funds co-founded several public and private companies, including Quanta Services, Inc. (NYSE: PWR) and U.S. Concrete, Inc. (NASDAQ: RMIX).
