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 uses behaviorally intelligent chatbots to connect students with the support they need to reach college.
AdmitHub didn’t stop with college access, though. The platform soon evolved 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.
For many people, entering the workforce and navigating a career comes with a new set of challenges to overcome. Mainstay is here for that journey, too, as we partner with schools and businesses to give students and employees the support they need to succeed every step of the way.
Our mission
At Mainstay, we believe one conversation can spark a brighter future. Our engagement platform makes it easy for colleges and businesses to start and measure meaningful conversations that drive action at scale. From our rigorous research methods to our Behavioral Intelligence approach — 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.
