Chegg Inc.

Chegg is a company that offers educational services support, ranging from textbook rentals to online tutoring. Chegg was founded in 2005 by Aayush Phumbhra, Josh Carlson, and Osman Rashid. It originally started as a textbook rental company, although in recent years have branched out to focus more on e-learning services. The company is headquartered in Santa Clara, California, United States. Chegg also has several subsidiaries that are still actively operating as part of its Chegg Network: StudyBlue (acquired in 2018), Thinkful (acquired in 2019), Easybib (acquired in 2016), and Internships.com (acquired in 2014).

Chegg offers college students the ability to rent or purchase used books through its online platform. Students can order their textbooks through the website and are allowed to use highlighters on them. However, supplemental materials such as accompanying CDs may not be included with the book. Books are shipped directly to the student. Rent is paid on roughly a three-month basis. Chegg also has an e-Textbook rental available for students.

In addition to its textbook rental services, Chegg also operates a study assistance service where students can access additional resources based on the textbook that they use. The same program also allows students to ask questions and receive answers from Chegg's in-house tutors. Chegg also provides other services through its network - such as flashcard creation and management, subject-based online tutoring, automatic math solving, test preparation service, internship job portal, and a scholarship database.
