Perlego
Business Description If you’re in university, you know how expensive textbooks are. Perlego offers an alternative. The London-based startup was launched in 2016 and offers unlimited access to over 200,000 university textbooks through an online subscription service that only costs £12/month. Users can access the textbooks on their computers or mobile devices. The platform also includes extra capabilities to ease the studying process, such as highlighting and annotating, and even generates references automatically with a single click. The young compay already collaborates with more than 650 publishers, including big names like Oxford University Press, Princeton University Press and Macmillan Higher Education. The publishers receive 65% of each subscription – calculated on a consumption basis.
