ManhattanHomeDesign.com grow to the next level.

The Goldman Sachs 10,000 small businesses program and Warren Buffett  help small business ManhattanHomeDesign.com  grow to the next level. "It’s a small business owner’s dream," Daniel Levy, president  and  founder  of  ManhattanHomeDesign.com, said of the  Goldman  Sachs 10,000  Small  Businesses  program, a $500 million, five-year effort providing underserved small business  owners  in the  United  States with  access  to capital,  business  education, mentors and   professional networks. Daniel Levy, who was invited to join the program last year, immigrated to the United States knowing no English and with very little capital. Always an entrepreneur by heart, he  started  raising  tropical fish in his  bedroom and selling  them  when he  was  seven  years old.  With  high aspirations  for entrepreneurial success, he founded

ManhattanHomeDesign.com, an online company that sells modern-design  furniture,  with  only  $500 start-up capital and turned it into  $500,000  worth of sales last year. The Goldman Sachs 10,000  Small Business  program  has helped bring Levy one step closer to achieving the American dream.

During  the seminars, he had the priceless opportunity of meeting and learning about running a small business from business legends Warren Buffett and Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein as well as top professors from the Wharton School and Babson College.

ManhattanHomeDesign.com is an online retailer of modern residential, outdoor and office furniture. It represents about 40 furniture brands and also manufactures its own furniture in China. Its products are sold on around 30 partner sites including Amazon and eBay. Warren Buffett,  CEO of  Berkshire  Hathaway  and an advocate  for small  businesses   and the Goldman Sachs 10,000  Small Businesses program, stated, "Our (economic) recovery is  dependent on hard-working  small   business owners across America who

will create jobs that America needs."The Obama Administration also has taken notice of the program's benefits. "It fits our economic development goals  perfectly,"  White House  Senior  Advisor Valerie Jarett said at the graduation  ceremony for the Goldman Sachs 10000 Small businesses program. "The President’s No. 1 goal is to create jobs and grow the U.S. economy.  Giving  small-business  owners  the tools they need to grow leverages our efforts to  create  and  an  environment where all  businesses  can  grow."
