Student debt is a massive problem in the United States, as college costs continue to rise, and many of the emerging career opportunities are out of reach to people who have no degree. That’s why Grant Aldrich’s new learning platform, OnlineDegree.com, lets people take many undergraduate college courses for free, online, on their own schedule, with credits that are recognized at over a thousand accredited universities. In this episode of Hack the Process Grant will tell us why he felt it was important to make the all courses and materials free for students from day one, how he validated the concept and built an audience with practically no marketing, and what personal drivers motivated him to leverage his 15 years of startup experience to make college credits more accessible and affordable.
