Way Back When…
In 2015, we founded PartnerSlate to bridge a significant communication gap between brands and contract manufacturers, and to address the lack of information regarding the commercialization process. We tackled this issue by developing a comprehensive database of thousands of manufacturers across North America, detailing their capabilities and capacities.
Through our interactions with these manufacturers, we gained valuable insights into their needs. This led to the creation of the PartnerSlate Marketplace, designed to streamline and expedite the connection between brands and interested manufacturers.
Introducing PartnerSlate Academy
We launched PartnerSlate Academy to support brands that are less familiar with the CPG industry. The academy has two primary functions:
- To guide brands through the process of preparing, vetting, onboarding, and producing with a new co-manufacturer via PartnerSlate.
- To serve as an information hub for Food and Beverage CPG knowledge.
Our Mission
At PartnerSlate Academy, our mission is to equip brands with essential insights into the development and commercialization process. We strive to empower brands to engage effectively in co-manufacturer conversations, providing them with the necessary tools to successfully launch and grow their CPG brands. Additionally, we serve as a foundational resource for a wide range of industry-related topics.
Our Vision
We envision PartnerSlate Academy as the premier free resource for CPG brands, continually evolving to meet the needs of our community. Our commitment to expanding our content ensures that you remain informed and well-prepared to thrive in the competitive CPG landscape.
Get Involved! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are continuously expanding the academy, and always looking for experts in the field to collaborate with.
