Brilliant Worldwide, Inc.

Brilliant is an education technology company founded in 2012 that offers an interactive learning experience in STEM fields such as math, physics, and computer science. Its founding idea was to turn learning into an active process built on problem-solving, in contrast to classic online courses built around passive video watching.

The company began as a problem-solving platform for students preparing for math competitions. Over time this approach expanded to adult learning, professional upskilling, and anyone simply curious to learn. Brilliant redesigned the classic textbook experience by conveying abstract concepts through animations, interactive graphics, and step-by-step solutions.

The platform offers courses spanning dozens of topics, including algebra, geometry, probability, machine learning, algorithms, neural networks, and electrical engineering. Students solve problems within each lesson, receive instant explanations when they answer incorrectly, and build intuition behind the concepts step by step.

Brilliant's content is used heavily by high school and university students, professionals working in software, adults looking to transition into data science, and STEM enthusiasts in general. The product has also become a resource teachers turn to for supplementary material outside the classroom.
