Guide learners to success with conversations designed to spark action

Provide a personalized success coach on every student's mobile phone

Save time to enhance empathy and wellbeing in conversations

Understand and respond to student needs instantly to foster belonging

Our proven libraries of effective, ready-made content are rigorously tested to help your institution engage students quickly while making the most of your time and resources. 

Every message follows our proprietary approach, developed in partnership with researchers in behavioral economics, mindset science, emotional intelligence, and cultural relevance. 

We use technology to fuel conversations (especially the tough ones) to create deeper connections

We craft messages with cultural relevance and personalization to engage learners from broad audiences

We proactively address barriers to guide the majority and liberate staff to reach those that too often go unnoticed

Our values are more than just the words on a screen — they’re the guiding principles that help us make decisions and show up authentically every day. 

We treat each other with respect, and actively cultivate a space where people feel comfortable taking risks and learning from their mistakes. We have fun together — through Slack shout-outs and new partner celebrations. And when people do great work, we reward them for it!

If you want to join us in making an impact as part of a collaborative and compassionate team, we’d love to talk to you!

We’re building a people-first organization. Our company is fully remote, but we are connected by a shared vision and passion for improving the lives of the people we serve.

Mainstay is on a journey to building an anti-racist organization. Our commitment goes beyond lip service — it is represented in how we operate internally and externally every day. We openly share action plans, continue to diversify our team, provide paths to more representation in leadership, and apply our efforts to our core business, products, and services. 

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.
