Created by students, for students
The idea for Perlego was born when our founders, Gauthier and Matt, were struggling with the cost of textbooks as students. From that first search for a more affordable alternative, Perlego has grown into a business that is breaking down the barriers to education for students globally. idea for Perlego was born when our founders, Gauthier and Matt, were struggling with the cost of textbooks as students.

Perlego was founded in 2016 by Gauthier Van Malderen and Matthew Davis, both Belgian natives, as a response to the rising inflation of textbook prices. They sought to be able to provide an affordable alternative to the high cost of purchasing university textbooks, while helping publishers recover market share lost to piracy. Van Malderen, with an academic background in business and economics, had already founded two companies before Perlego, and Davis had extensive experience in software technology and website building.
