At Perlego, we’re working hard to make learning accessible to all. In this digital age, we believe that anyone should be able to learn anything at any time. Knowledge should be more accessible, not locked behind sky-high price tags.
Over the past 7 years, our goal has been to support students across the UK Europe to access quality books. The next stage of Perlego is twofold: 1) expand our support to students globally, and 2) build a product that goes beyond the book towards a platform that facilitates learning and enables collaboration between professors and students ultimately empowering them to study smarter and learn more effectively.
