Complexly is a media company that produces shows like Crash Course, Sci Show, Eons, Ask Hank Anything, Bizarre Beasts, Study Hall, and more. We were founded by John and Hank Green with a mission of creating trustworthy stuff and lowering barriers to knowledge building. The world is not simple. And that can seem like a burden sometimes. The reality is, the human species will never fully understand itself or its universe, let alone any individual.

But instead of seeing that as a failing, we'd like to suggest that the process is as powerful as the outcome.

Until February 2026, Complexly was a company privately owned by Hank and John Green. They have donated the company to the public as a new nonprofit 501c3 organization, which will help Complexly fulfill its mission for decades to come. Becoming a nonprofit means we will be able to lean into public support, supercharging our mission to make content the world needs, not what is optimized for advertisers.
