Erin Flett was recently named one of three finalists in the fifth season of Greenlight Maine. Flett, a Gorham resident and textile designer who operates out of her studio on Main Street, was among 25 Maine companies to pitch their businesses in an effort to win a $100,000 grand prize.

Greenlight Maine is a television and internet series that is designed to highlight and encourage the growth of small businesses in Maine. Over the past five seasons an estimated twenty-five million dollars have been invested in companies that have appeared on the show.

After making it to the finals, Flett shared, “It has been an amazing ride so far, and I am immensely grateful to my team of now 18 people. If we were to win, I hope to invest in new strategic equipment and processes that will allow us to streamline our processes that benefit our Maine manufacturing economy.”

She also went on to thank Greenlight Maine for the immense opportunity.

“My sincere hope is that this continued community support from Greenlight Maine might spark new ideas and passions from all of us. Thank you Greenlight Maine for the impact you have given Maine entrepreneurs.”

Flett will compete against Humphrey’s Barbeque from West Newfield and i-Tell Alert from Winthrop in the Greenlight Maine finale at Husson University in Bangor on May 17. The public is invited to attend as long as COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted by then.
