What Sociometrics does

Sociometrics is a privately held, micro-cap (1-10 employees) behavioral and social science resource provider founded in 1983 and headquartered in Los Altos, California, under founder, president and CEO Josefina J. Card. The company operates the "Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences Library," a curated digital catalog of evidence-based interventions, validated datasets, capacity-building tools, and spiritual-health resources aimed at health educators, academic researchers, and public health professionals. Products are organized into four core categories — Data (datasets for secondary analysis), Evidence-Based Interventions & Programs (EBIs/EBPs, including the featured SHARP sexual-health and adolescent risk-prevention program), Capacity Building Tools, and Spiritual Health — and are searchable by resource type, target population, and topic (e.g., HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, mental health, adolescent pregnancy, cultural competence).

The underlying technology is a standard e-commerce-style web platform at socio.com that supports browsable filtering, Boolean search, account management, cart-based checkout for individual buyers, and a self-serve signup/login flow. The company runs a hybrid go-to-market: a sales-led institutional subscription motion for colleges, universities, healthcare systems, and government agencies (with direct outreach via phone 650-279-5777 and email [email protected]), layered with a self-serve direct online sales channel for individual purchasers. Annual quote-based institutional subscriptions and one-time individual product licenses constitute the two revenue streams; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Sociometrics' named customer base spans roughly 25 institutions across higher education (Stanford, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Irvine, NYU, Penn, Princeton, McGill, University of Saskatchewan, NextGenU), federal agencies (NIH, CDC, VA, DHHS), state health departments (CDPH, Pennsylvania DOH, Utah DOH), healthcare providers (Sutter Health, PAMF, Beth Israel Deaconess), and nonprofits/NGOs (Planned Parenthood, EngenderHealth, Pathfinder International, YWCA, AIR Academy, Regenesis). No revenue, funding, M&A, or leadership-change data is disclosed, and no AI/ML capabilities are evidenced in the available material.
