Socratic has raised $1.5 million in a seed round led by Spark Capital, with Betaworks, Andreessen Horowitz, David Tisch, John Maloney and Terrapin Bale also participating.

Socratic is a community-driven, open platform that strives to be the best place for anyone to learn about any topic, in any subject, in any language. We care about making education accessible and believe in the power of great teaching. We are an open platform for students and teachers to create the world's best learning resource. The community creates a topic list for each new subject, anyone can contribute by adding or suggesting videos, and the best videos for each topic rise to the top.
