Exciting news!

[GreggC]

Udemy Instructors, 

As you may have already read, we’re sharing some great news today. Benesse, our long-time strategic partner in Japan, is investing $50 million in Udemy with a valuation of $2 billion. This investment demonstrates Benesse’s confidence in us and our work together and offers an exciting opportunity for us to further invest in scaling Udemy around the world.

I believe we’re still in the earliest days of realizing the potential of learning online, and I’m incredibly optimistic about our shared future. Together, we’re partners in bringing the world’s expertise to millions of students around the world and enabling people everywhere to progress in their professions and their passions.

We’re grateful that each of you made the decision to teach on Udemy, and we’re eager to move even more boldly to help share your knowledge with the world and improve lives through learning.

Cheers to our continued partnership, 

Gregg

I'm a top instructor in the Russian-speaking marketplace which is actively developing nowadays. I was thinking for some time about the possibility to build some kind of an instructor's community here in Moscow, Russia. That could help to grow the Russian-speaking market even quicker. That would be super cool if someday Udemy had opened another office in Moscow))) I would also be proud of being one of Udemy's team members. Is there any kind of option to collaborate with Udemy in this field?

Congratulations ! This is amazing news. 
After publishing my first 2 courses a few years ago, I've been planning a number of new courses to be released in 2020, starting next week. To say this is motivating would be a vast understatement. 

2020... sounds like 20 is the magic number, so let's see if I can release anything close to that number of courses in the remaining 10 months of the year. Most of the courses are already scripted and they follow a common model, so 10 is definitely doable, but I'm going to try to push the enveloppe here. So let's get busy.

Wonderful to hear about that. Mostly not about the amount of money, but about finding and building trust between strong and global partners. Godo job Gregg and the entire Udemy team!

@GreggC nice to hear such news from your end.

[MascheriaGP632]

Good day everyone. I have not been on for a while. Been busy. But I want to say let us stay calm during this time.

I see a lot of platforms where people are using.  And some are not so good. But as instructors let us be true to our work.

let us be leaders in helping and not so much as money. The money will come when we produce good stuff. 

Be safe out there and do what the doctors say do stay in home , wash our hands.  

Be safe blessings

"Benesse, our long-time strategic partner in Japan, is investing $50 million in Udemy with a valuation of $2 billion."

May I know what is Udemy development with regards to entry into China market? I have courses in both English and Chinese. The English courses entrollments are picking up steadily, but not the Chinese courses. 

Thank you for your attention.
