Fellow Product Hunters, My name is Doug Ludlow, CEO of MainStreet. A few months ago, we launched our first product here on Product Hunt, a tool that helps startups easily discover and collect tax credits and incentives. Today, we're launching a tool that will help startups easily file for a tax extension, giving them more than 3 months extra time to file their taxes. Doing so will both free up some time for founders during a busy season, and will ensure they have the time they need to collect valuable tax credits, like the $250k R&D tax credit!

Hi Product Hunters, this is Doug from MainStreet, here to answer any questions you might have. We help startups extend their runway, by effortlessly connecting them with government stimulus programs, tax credits, and hiring incentives. Startups are usually too busy or too small to pay attention to government incentives - this is a huge mistake - every year, the average startup leaves hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table. And, during this current economic crisis, startups will lose out on even more if they aren't paying attention. One interesting note - we had originally planned on launching in early May. However, the events of the last two weeks made us realize that we needed to launch NOW - SMBs and Startups couldn't wait to get help, they needed it immediately. Depending on the size, stage and growth of the startup, they may be eligible to receive significant funding. Here are some rough estimates: -Pre-Seed: Up to $200,000 -Seed: Up to $600,000 -Series A&B: Up to $1,000,000 We couldn't be happier to launch today - we think we're going to do a lot of good, for a lot of startups and their employees.
