History

Chegg Tutors was founded in 2011 as InstaEDU and launched into public beta in May 2012. At that time, the company also announced that it had raised $1.1M in venture capital funding from The Social+Capital Partnership. Two of the company's cofounders had previously run an in-home tutoring company called Cardinal Scholars. After running Cardinal Scholars they got the idea for an online tutoring company--InstaEDU. In July 2012 they sold Cardinal Scholars to Course Hero. In August 2013, the service announced it had raised a $4 million Series A round of funding from Battery Ventures. At that time, the InstaEDU service also came out of beta.

On June 3, 2014, Chegg announced that it purchased InstaEDU for $30 million in cash, and that it plans to keep the InstaEDU service active as part of the purchase.
