About

FreeTextbooks is a startup revolutionizing the college experience. We're just starting with textbooks. We know textbooks are about as sexy as Mr. Rogers (R.I.P.), but we're punching into a huge industry ripe for radical change. Students spend $14 billion every year on textbooks, and we're creating an on-campus experience that eats into that. We take frequent trips to campus & throw some fun parties. We currently have more than 300 student reps on 30 campuses, and, after doubling in size since last year, we're shooting to triple by the end of 2015.
