Escape's take on Perlego

Perlego is a shining example of using entrepreneurship to solve real world problems by creating simple solutions to break down barriers of inequality. University fees and debt are already pricing many poorer households out of further education, but an even more pernicious cost is the soaring price of compulsory textbooks. Most students can't afford them, but Perlego gives unlimited access to all of the learning resources at a much fairer price. As well as a brilliant mission statement, Perlego are aiming to foster a unique company culture championing self-empowerment, personal development, direct communication and mutual support.
