62. A masterclass in crowdsourcing, w/Duolingo's Luis von Ahn

<p>Crowdsourcing is more than a group of people interested in the same cause, it’s a way to tap skills – and scale – that you don’t have. And when it works, it can be the rocket fuel that launches you to scale further than you could have ever&nbsp;imagined. No one knows this better than Luis von Ahn, founder and CEO of Duolingo. Duolingo is a language app with over 300 million users worldwide, who complete over 7 billion exercises a month. It’s their passion for learning that drives them to create even more content for the app – igniting the rocket fuel that Duolingo needs. Cameo appearance by Elizabeth Sampat (game designer and author).&nbsp;</p><p>Read a transcript of this interview at:&nbsp;<a href="https://mastersofscale.com/luis-von-ahn/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mastersofscale.com/luis-von-ahn/</a></p><p>Subscribe to the Masters of Scale weekly newsletter at&nbsp;<a href="http://eepurl.com/dlirtX" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://eepurl.com/dlirtX</a></p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
