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
The goal of PartnerSlate Academy is to provide brands with essential information on the development and commercialization process. This ensures they can approach co-manufacturer conversations with the tools they need to launch successful CPG brands. Additionally, the academy serves as a foundational resource for various industry-related topics.
What We Offer
In PartnerSlate Academy, we cover:
- PartnerSlate-Specific Resources: Learn how to set up a project in Marketplace, prepare for your first co-manufacturer call, and more.
- General Industry Knowledge: Gain insights into food certifications, financing for contract manufacturing, and other key topics.
Our Vision
We aim to grow PartnerSlate Academy into the most comprehensive free resource for CPG brands. We are continuously expanding our content to keep you informed and ahead in the competitive CPG landscape.
