Our mission is to help you do more and do better in Slate.
Jake Daly founded Post-Captain in 2018 as a way to turn the best part of his job — Slate — into his full-time career. Post-Captain was among the inaugural class of Slate Preferred Partners announced at the Slate Summit in 2019 and is now a Platinum Preferred Partner, illustrating our deep commitment to excellence and to the entire higher education community. We collaborate with over 100 colleges, universities, and foundations to achieve their unique, mission-critical goals.
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.
Working with Post-Captain gives us the confidence to think boldly about how we use Slate to improve our admissions processes.
