Big Think
Big Think is an American digital media platform founded in 2007 by Peter Hopkins and Victoria Montgomery Brown, which produces and distributes expert-led video interviews, articles, and multimedia content focused on intellectual topics including science, philosophy, business, and culture.[1][2] Launched publicly on January 5, 2008, the platform features concise explanations and discussions from prominent thinkers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and leaders, with a mission to "make you smarter, faster" by challenging assumptions and promoting bold ideas.[2][3] Originally an independent venture, Big Think was acquired by Freethink Media and has expanded into corporate learning solutions through Big Think+, offering structured video-based education for professional development.[4][5] Notable for its emphasis on actionable insights over entertainment, the platform has garnered millions of views across its content library, though it has faced scrutiny for occasional selection biases in expert representation reflecting broader institutional leanings in academia and media.[6][7]
