Mainstay started with a spark...
Our story
In 2014, Drew Magliozzi and Kirk Daulerio came together with a shared vision to make college access more equitable through technology. This passion led them to start AdmitHub, a student engagement platform that used behavioral science and AI to connect students with the support they needed to reach college.
AdmitHub didn’t stop with college access, though. The company soon evolved into student success coaching to support millions of students with empathetic, conversational guidance throughout their entire higher educational journey.
Today, as Mainstay, we still empower people to take the next step toward achieving their goals — one conversation at a time.
We’re here for the journey.
Our mission
At Mainstay, we believe one conversation can spark a brighter future. Our student success coaching makes it easy for colleges start and extend meaningful conversations that drive action at scale. From our rigorous research methods to our unique approach to coaching — everything we do is designed with our mission in mind: To spark progress with conversation.
Our values
"Why" matters
We seek purpose, meaning, and clarity in everything we do. Our shared curiosity unifies us in our everyday exploration of “the why behind the why.”
Create joy
We celebrate each moment of the journey by being present, expressing gratitude, finding balance, and finding fun ways to share positive energy with one another.
Grow yourself
We evolve as a company by strengthening our skills, developing our abilities, and empowering our team to grow holistically.
Kindness rules
Kindness means being friendly, generous, and considerate — while having the courage and compassion to deliver important information in a way that promotes growth.
Drive impact
As employees and shareholders, we take the initiative to show up fully as our authentic selves, address challenges that arise, and make a meaningful difference for our coworkers, partners, and everyone who interacts with our technology.
Be courageous
Courage is present when we say what we’ll do and do what we’ll say. When we take full responsibility for our impact. In order to achieve ambitious goals, and build a values-based culture we must bring courage front and center.
