Growth, as the source summarises it

Perlego may be growing as indicated by a partnership with Barclays that includes a free 12-month subscription to Perlego's online library for full-time UK students who apply for the Barclays Student Additions Account. This collaboration suggests an expansion of Perlego's user base and potential increase in visibility among students. Additionally, Perlego was mentioned as a recipient in an education accelerator program, which could imply recognition and support for innovation and growth within the EdTech industry. Furthermore, the report of a high number of illegal downloads in January 2023, while highlighting a challenge, also suggests a strong demand for Perlego's services.
