From democratizing education to talent transformation.
Udacity began when Stanford instructors Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig had a revolutionary idea to offer their "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence" course online—to anyone, for free.
Over 160,000 students in more than 190 countries enrolled, demanding a new way to deliver education. A startling discovery emerged: The top 400 students weren’t from Stanford. This revelation sparked a mission to make lifelong learning more equitable and inclusive. Udacity has been expanding opportunities ever since.
Building on this globally accessible upskilling platform, Udacity evolved into talent transformation. By creating the next level of job-ready digital talent, we equip professionals and organizations to excel in some of the world’s most exciting disciplines.

Manifesting the value of exceptional talent.
Our leadership team comes together with one goal: to help learners, enterprise, and governments prepare for and strengthen the digital workforce of the next generation.
