Memrise is an online learning tool that uses Mnemonic techniques to boost the speed and ease with which people learn.

Memrise was founded by Ed Cooke, a Grandmaster of Memory, and Greg Detre, a Princeton neuroscientist specializing in the science of memory and forgetting.

Memrise launched after winning the 2009 Princeton Entrepreneurs Network Tiger Launch competition.

In July 2010 Memrise won the London mini-seedcamp competition.

In November 2010 Memrise was named as one of the finalists for the 2010 Techcruch Start-up of the year.
