#05 Textbook Subscriptions - Perlego Founder Gauthier Van Malderen

Gauthier Van Malderen is the founder of Perlego which is subscription service for textbooks primarily for students and professionals. Currently boasting more than 70,000 e-books and 90,000 publications, they are growing month by month. Raising just under £1m so far, they are looking to tackle the publishing vertical and become the ‘Spotify of textbooks’.

Gauthier has a postgraduate in Entrepreneurship from Cambridge Judge Business School and in this episode we discuss specific topics regarding Perlego but also delve into the world of entrepreneurship in general and what his recommendations are based on his experience. Gauthier also discusses the Netflix model and compares it to Spotify.
