StudyMode was founded in 1999 by Blaine Vess and Chris Nelson, who experienced the same challenges of today’s students—high competition, high pressure and high costs for books and other study materials. What originally began as a search engine to help their friends share notes and prepare their research papers has now grown into an established destination for students looking to improve their performance in nearly any academic discipline. Self-funded and expanding daily, StudyMode serves more than 2 billion pages per year to students all over the world.Show more
