Unusual Ventures
Posted 3 years ago

About Us Socratic is building a Jira-killer. We think even the "modern" approaches to task management are worn out. We're a seed stage startup re-thinking work from the ground up, this time built around data. By unifying task management with performance intelligence, we show teams how well they work and why, with real-time data to guide daily decisions to the best result.

Socratic is led by two seasoned founders with deep startup experience, including successful exits. With this role, you'll not only help build a product—you'll help build a company.

What we're looking for Socratic is looking for a big-brained, small-ego builder who excels in wide open environments. You'll partner with our founders to help develop the product from private beta through public launch and beyond. This is a rare chance to help reinvent a legacy space with a next-gen solution. Remote work is ok!
