Udacity, Inc. is an American for-profit educational organization founded by Sebastian Thrun, David Stavens, and Mike Sokolsky offering massive open online courses.[4][5][6]
According to Thrun, the origin of the name Udacity comes from the company's desire to be "audacious for you, the student".[7][8] While it originally focused on offering university-style courses, it now focuses more on vocational courses for professionals.
Accenture agreed to acquire the company in March 2024.
