What With Socrates does

With Socrates (legally Education Revolution, LLC) is a Las Vegas-based, privately held education technology company founded in 2017 that develops the Socrates Learning Platform, an AI-powered adaptive learning system for kindergarten through eighth grade (K-8). The platform delivers Common Core-aligned content across 3,000+ topics in math, English Language Arts (ELA), science, financial literacy, spelling, sight words, and health and safety, available in English, Spanish, and Thai. Its core technology is a patented adaptive AI engine that personalizes learning paths in real time based on student performance, wrapped in a gamification layer with 18 engagement elements, and delivered on Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure with COPPA and FERPA compliance and integrations to the leading K-12 identity platforms (Clever, ClassLink).

The company operates a hybrid direct-to-consumer and B2B/B2G go-to-market. Revenue is generated through tiered subscription plans: Family Plans ($4.99-$11.99/month), Homeschool Plans ($29.99/month), Classroom Plans ($69.99/month for up to 40 students), and School Plans ($249.95/month for up to 30 classrooms). Distribution combines self-serve e-commerce via withsocrates.com and practiceplaygrow.com, a direct sales motion into K-12 schools and districts, institutional partnerships with public library systems (notably Clark County Library District serving 1.6 million patrons and the State of Tlaxcala in Mexico covering 139 libraries), an international reseller network spanning the US, Canada, Middle East, and Latin America, and an OEM pre-load arrangement with Tanoshi children's computing devices.

The company has remained small (11-50 employees) and lightly capitalized, with total disclosed funding of approximately $1.22 million including a 2018 NSF SBIR grant and a roughly $1 million private round in late 2018. The leadership team is founder-led, with Brian G. Rosenberg as Co-Founder and CEO, Dr. Ralph Thomas as President and CTO, and a small executive bench covering curriculum, customer services, and media. Recent strategic activity through early 2025 has focused on distribution expansion through Clever and ClassLink integrations, international scaling into Mexico, and product breadth (Spanish Phonics, Financial Literacy modules) rather than large capital raises, suggesting a capital-efficient operating model with growth funded largely by operating revenue.
