Student Brands, LLC (formerly Study Mode Holdings, LLC)[1] is a Los Angeles County-based company that owns and operates a network of educational websites and applications.[2]

Student Brands’s network of websites includes StudyMode.com, where students can download model essays and term papers, book notes and AP notes; Cram.com, where students can share and review flashcards; and Cite.com, a citation generator and bibliography builder.[3]

Student Brands was founded by Blaine Vess and Chris Nelson in 1999 when they re-launched the website, OPPapers.com. The company was originally run out of a dorm room at North Central College.[4] By 2007, revenues and profits exceeded US$1 million.[4] Todd Clemens joined the company in 2008.[5] The company subsequently grew through the acquisitions and international site launches. In 2013, its portfolio included more than a dozen websites in several languages with around 2.5 million visitors per day[3] and revenues exceed $10 million.[2]

For more than a decade, the co-founders ran the company out of Vess’s home with about thirty remote contractors.[2]

Acquisition

Student Brands was acquired by Barnes & Noble Education in August 2017 for $58.5 million.[6]

Learneo acquired Student Brands from Barnes & Noble Education in May 2023.[7]
