The acquisition, which is subject to standard closing conditions and is expected to be completed by the end of this month, will expand Chegg’s social education platform into high schools.

Founded in 2007, Chegg is used by students in more than 7,000 campuses nationwide for homework help, course selection, note taking, textbook and e-textbook rentals. It is backed by GSV Capital (read here) and received debt financing from Insight Venture Partners, Pinnacle Ventures and TriplePoint Capital (read here).
