Udemy, a publicly owned company headquartered in the United States, was founded in 2010 and operates with approximately 6,140 employees. It reported $789.8M in revenue as of 2025 and functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The company specializes in e-learning, operating as a for-profit massive open online course provider aimed at professional adults and students.
Coursera reported total revenue of $299 million in its second quarter, a 60% year-over-year increase reflecting the business integration effects post-Udemy merger, with paid subscribers rising 44% to over 1.6 million, as detailed in its Q2 2026 earnings call insights on July 30. The company projects full-year revenue between $1.22 billion and $1.245 billion. Previously, on July 30, Coursera announced job cuts that began on July 6, eight weeks after its merger with Udemy closed, expecting to incur $8 million to $11 million in costs without specifying the number of affected staff. On July 29, Coursera CEO Gregory Hart emphasized that Q2 marked an important step in unlocking Coursera's growth and value creation, noting the transaction with Udemy completed on May 11, when it began operating as a combined company. Coursera anticipates an approximate 14% adjusted EBITDA margin for 2026 and targets at least $85 million in run-rate synergies by year-end. This followed Coursera's second-quarter earnings report on July 29, which showed non-GAAP earnings per share significantly exceeding analyst expectations, while revenue slightly missed the consensus estimate.
