About Complexly: 

The world is not simple. And that can seem like a burden sometimes. The reality is, the human species will never fully understand itself or its universe, let alone any individual. But instead of seeing that as a failing, we'd like to suggest that the process is as powerful as the outcome. The more we understand, the better we get at being humans, and that is one of the only worthwhile goals out there. We are a group of people who make stuff to help that process along and reflect our own excitement and enthusiasm for understanding and imagining things complexly.

Complexly makes educational videos that help our audiences develop a nuanced and complex view of the world around us. Our projects vary in scope, but the goal is the same: to inspire curiosity in our viewers and help people feel more connected to the world around us. With over 31,000,000 subscribers and 55,000,000 views per month, it is one of the largest global online educational companies. 

We provide competitive benefits that include but are not limited to: 

• 100% company paid Health, Vision, and Dental Insurance for employees, and 50% company paid for dependents.
