Coursera, Inc. operates an online learning platform offering courses, certificates, and degree programs from universities and companies worldwide. The platform provides access to thousands of courses across diverse subjects including business, computer science, data science, personal development, and other fields. Coursera serves individual learners seeking skills and credentials, enterprises providing employee training, universities offering online degree programs, and governments supporting workforce development. The company generates revenues from consumer subscriptions, enterprise contracts, and degree program fees. Founded in 2012 by Stanford professors Andrew Ng and Daphne Koller and headquartered in Mountain View, California, Coursera went public in 2021. The company benefits from partnerships with leading universities and companies, extensive content library, global reach, and brand recognition in online education. Coursera faces intense competition from traditional education, other online learning platforms, free content, and skepticism about online credentials versus traditional degrees. The company has struggled with profitability and growth deceleration. Coursera continues to invest in content development, enterprise solutions, degree programs, and technology platform enhancements while working toward sustainable profitability.
