Mike Feerick, Founder and CEO of Alison, shares his vision for democratising education through free, accessible online learning. He argues that education is a powerful tool to address global poverty and inequality, while criticising traditional universities as slow, costly, and inaccessible to most of the world.

Feerick explains how Alison operates as a sustainable social enterprise using a freemium and ad-supported model, keeping learning free while remaining self-funded.
