Richard Ludlow saw the potential of the internet becoming a learning place, and he managed to achieve it through his website called Acedemicearth.org. The non-profit website aimed at bringing quality education among students and that too free of cost. He rejected an offer of a full-time job and admission in an MBA course to come up with the idea of Academic Earth at the age of 22. Th website even offers courses from some of the most prestigious colleges in the world. Richard certainly proved that entrepreneurship is not all about the money and some good cause too. His example also shows that non-profit entrepreneurial endeavors are important as well.
How inspiring that he gave up a full time job and MBA course to develop a program for the benefit of others! What a cool guy.
the earth needs more people life this who are committed to learning and helping others learn. awesome to see he gave stuff up to put others forward. with the way the modern education system is at the moment, we need most people aiding the educational movement
