About Us

“There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance”

- Socrates

Our Story

Socrates Software was founded on a conviction: that technology, applied thoughtfully and with genuine purpose, can change lives.

We took our name from one of history's greatest thinkers. Not because we have all the answers, but because we believe in asking better questions. The Socratic method is built on the idea that the capacity for growth exists within every person, and that the right kind of support can unlock it.

We do not deliver outcomes to people. We give people the means, the tools, and the confidence to achieve their own.

Our Mission

We want to be facilitators, not teachers. We want to empower individuals to take charge of their own journeys, and find fulfilment in their own discoveries and achievements. We measure our success not by transactions, but by the lives that are changed.

Making a Difference

With over 25,000 registered service users across four continents, we work with probation services, prisons and leading private companies in the USA, UK, Australia, Europe and the Middle East.

Our platform supports formal education, vocational training, community supervision, and staff-service user communication, delivered via Socrates 360 on secure tablets or users' own smartphones, online or offline.
