Founded in 2008, Academia.edu is the leading online platform for academics worldwide. Our site accelerates research and supports critical breakthroughs in medicine, science, transportation and communications by allowing researchers to publish and share their own work. Not only do these scholars and researchers share their own research, they can use our complex platform to monitor deep analytics around the impact of their research, and track the research of academics they follow. We have more than 25 employees at our San Francisco Office, with 17 in engineering.
Over 59 million academics are Academia.edu members, adding 20 million papers. Academia.edu attracts over 39 million unique visitors a month and has an investment of more than $28 million from leading VC firms including Khosla Ventures, True Ventures, Spark Capital and Tencent. Our work has garnered favorable attention from trade and mainstream media including Fortune, Wired, EdTech, Venture Beat, San Francisco Business Times, The Economist, The Washington Post, TechCrunch, Scientific American and Forbes.
Academia has turned cash flow positive; our revenue run rate is over $10M/year and growing rapidly.
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
