Anyone, anywhere should have the power to transform their life through learning.

Higher education is ripe for innovation. It’s as true today as it was in 2012 when we invested in Coursera.

At Stanford, Daphne and Andrew saw how powerful open access to higher education content was when they helped develop the University’s own free online classes. But bringing Ivy League-caliber courses to the masses online was just the start.

Coursera is providing world-class educational content that is affordable, accessible and relevant. Today, their platform has reached more than 77 million learners and will play a critical role in the upskilling and reskilling of the workforce.

Education is the source of human progress, and we’re proud to be part of Coursera’s journey.

Congratulations to the entire Coursera family for making history.
