Mission & Value Proposition
Millions of Black and Hispanic-owned businesses are at risk as baby boomers retire. With no succession plan and limited access to capital, many are forced to shut down with no financial reward — putting jobs, wealth, and community stability in jeopardy. MAI offers a legacy-preserving, growth-oriented exit alternative.
MAI is a purpose-driven business aggregator on a mission to build the largest conglomerate of businesses that serve Black and Hispanic Americans in the U.S. We acquire, systematize, and scale fragmented "mom & pop" businesses owned by underrepresented founders.

A Message from the CEO
AS ONE, WE’RE WEAK, TOGETHER WE’RE STRONG.
“MAI’s vision is to create a for-profit minority-owned "Fortune 1000 Company," however we’re also driven by a social mission that extends beyond profit. Our goal is to provide a supportive and beneficial transition for minority business owners, while simultaneously preserving and enhancing the economic activity within their communities. We offer security and peace of mind, enabling minority business owners to exit their ventures and gain more time to spend with their families, friends, and loved ones. We are committed to acquiring minority-owned businesses at a fair and reasonable valuation, ensuring just compensation for the minority owner's years of effort and investment. Furthermore, we promise to acquire, maintain, and grow their businesses within their communities, fostering increased jobs and harmony.”
Andrew Wallace, CEO
