Mission
We exist to make science and humanism appealing to as many people as possible, regardless of their age or academic background.
Values
Our values are centered around making content that is aesthetic, fun and accessible. When telling stories about the world we aim to be as objective, rigorous and selfaware as possible. The feeling we want to instill in people is optimism – we think a utopian future is possible.

Where we came from
Kurzgesagt started as a passion project out of university with the goal to create videos about science that wouldn’t be dry or boring, but left the viewer inspired and wanting to dig deeper. This labor of love grew into one of the biggest science and edutainment brands on the internet – and curiosity is still what we care about most.
