Education Revolution

Education Revolution, LLC, operating as WithSocrates, is a Las Vegas-based education technology firm developing adaptive learning solutions. The company was founded in 2017 by Brian G. Rosenberg and Dr. Ralph Thomas, releasing its flagship product, the Socrates Learning Platform, in 2018. The founding was inspired by Rosenberg's desire to create a more engaging and effective educational tool for his own children, combining his background in technology implementation with Dr. Thomas's expertise in data science and mathematics education. Rosenberg previously founded and exited a software implementation firm, while Dr. Thomas has a background teaching at institutions like UNLV and Princeton before specializing in data science.

The company's core offering is the Socrates Learning Platform, an AI-driven tool designed for K-8 students that provides personalized learning paths. Its dynamic engine adjusts the difficulty of questions in real-time based on student performance, creating an individualized educational experience. The platform's business model is multi-faceted, serving individual families, homeschool groups, and traditional K-8 schools (public, private, and charter) through subscriptions and licensing. Furthermore, WithSocrates employs a platform-as-a-service strategy, white-labeling its technology for adult learning and corporate training in diverse sectors, including partnerships for poker coaching, speech therapy, and financial literacy education.

The Socrates platform integrates gamification to motivate students, who earn virtual currency to unlock games and rewards as they learn. For educators and parents, it features a command center for monitoring student progress, identifying areas of difficulty, assigning homework, and generating reports. The curriculum covers subjects such as Math, English Language Arts (ELA), Science, and is expanding to include social studies and financial literacy. Content is available in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, and Thai. A significant milestone was receiving a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the National Science Foundation, which supported the platform's initial development and launch. The company has also secured partnerships with organizations like ClassLink to streamline access for over 21 million students through single sign-on capabilities.
