Our Mission

Whatever you use Slate to do, you’re doing something important with it. You’re doing something that has real meaning in your community. The tools we use for that kind of work should accelerate and support our efforts. The work is hard enough without technology getting in the way.

If Slate were one-size-fits-all, paint-by-numbers, or off-the-shelf, it could never take us as far as we need to go. It might be easier to set up, but it would always be an ill-fit for the specific work we want to do. Instead, we have the opportunity and responsibility to shape Slate to be the perfect resource for the task at hand. In return, Slate empowers us to have profound and transformative effects on the world around us. Slate’s hard because, ultimately, we do hard work with it.

We want to help you make that hard work easier. It takes effort, but we promise you can learn to wield Slate effectively. And through that effort, you’ll have developed a powerful tool that makes work and life simpler, better, and happier for the people around you. That’s what Post-Captain is about.
