About Socient

Socient was founded with the vision of creating a world-class social enterprise. A social enterprise is either a for-profit venture or a non-profit organization, which uses business methods to solve social and environmental challenges.  Socient creates online businesses and social communities that address some of our community's issues, such as road safety, finding employment, and livability.

How We Started

In the beginning, we started to ask questions like: How could we create a viable business while serving the community? Will our projects be personally compelling? Will it be something we will use ourselves? How could we start by bootstrapping product development?

So we got busy and started working on our brands.  We assisted community benefit organizations with their web marketing strategies and projects in order to fund our product development cycle.  We also knew that there are social and environmental issues that we are not particularly adept to tackle so we created joint ventures and partnerships, to at least gain traction, expertise, and faster entry to a particular market.

Who's Here

Socient is led by Founder/CEO Victor Ramayrat. He has formal training in information systems from Fresno State and masters in business administration from National University. He is focused on keeping Socient agile and customer focused. He works with both dedicated in-house team members and virtual assistants, and has many local designer and developer connections around Central Valley.

Socient is a member of Social Enterprise Alliance and Victor serves in the board of several local community benefit organizations.  We invest 10% of our online venture's net earnings to local non-profits and provide as much as 50% revenue share on co-marketing partnerships.
