MVP Marketing + Design Earns Two Gold and One Silver 2026 Davey Awards for Private Capital Websites
MINNEAPOLIS + BOSTON — October 23, 2026 — MVP Marketing + Design, an integrated brand-to-web agency serving private equity firms, investment banks, portfolio companies, and other middle-market organizations nationwide, has earned two Gold and one Silver 2026 Davey Awards for private capital website design and development.
The recognized projects include:
- Gold — Godspeed Capital: Defense and Government Services Private Equity Website
- Silver —Bank Street Group: Digital Infrastructure Investment Banking Website
- Gold — Kindred Pet Services: Private Equity Portfolio Company Website
All three projects were recognized in the Professional Services category.
“These awards are especially meaningful because the websites needed to do more than simply look amazing,” said Dick Weinrib, CEO and Founder of MVP Marketing + Design. “Each firm operates in a highly specialized market and needed a digital presence that clearly communicates its positioning, differentiates its capabilities, and supports long-term business development.”
For Godspeed Capital, a Washington, DC-based private equity firm focused on defense and government services, MVP created a state-of-the-art website designed to reflect the firm’s specialized investment strategy, portfolio, and market presence. The design balances institutional polish with a futuristic homepage video montage to reinforce Godspeed’s reputation as a long-term partner and sector specialist.
For Bank Street Group, a Stamford-based investment banking firm, MVP developed a sophisticated digital platform highlighting the firm’s expertise across digital infrastructure and other technology-driven sectors while making its extensive transaction experience readily accessible. With modern UX and visual design balancing clarity, confidence, and institutional credibility, a multi-sequence video on the homepage visually reinforces Bank Street’s market position.
For Kindred Pet Services, a Boston-based, Courseview Capital private equity-backed portfolio company, MVP created a website supporting a growing multi-location national platform while establishing a cohesive, professional digital presence capable of evolving alongside the business. An unforgettable loop of happy dogs on the homepage honors the heart that goes into each business within the family of pet care brands with deep industry experience, and the messaging further reinforces the values-driven DNA of the company.
The three awards reinforce MVP’s longstanding specialization in the private capital marketplace. Since 2000, the firm has created more than 100 websites for private equity firms, investment banks, PE portfolio companies, and related organizations, combining brand strategy, messaging, website design and development, SEO, and increasingly AI Search & Answer Optimization.
MVP’s website capabilities range from fully custom MVP TeamMate℠ engagements to its proprietary MVP TeamPlate℠ 2.0 WordPress platform, complemented by MVP BrandMate℠, MVP SearchMate℠, and MVP PortcoPro℠ programs.
“We’re proud of the recognition, but even more pleased that these projects demonstrate the breadth of our private capital work—from a defense-focused private equity sponsor to an investment bank specializing in digital infrastructure to a growing PE-backed pet services portfolio company,” Weinrib added.
