StudySoup

StudySoup is a digital learning marketplace that provides the purchase and sale of academic content, such as course notes, study guides, and tutoring services.[1][2][3][4]

Background

Sieva Kozinsky, an environmental studies graduate from UC Santa Barbara, got the idea for the company while he was a student, after finding it difficult to take notes fast enough to keep up with lectures.[1] Kozinsky, along with Jeff Silverman, started StudySoup in 2014 to source academic support through peer-to-peer learning and provide a means for students to earn money while in school.[5][6]

History

Within one year of its release, StudySoup had 1.5 million users across the United States.[7] The platform expanded internationally in 2016 to countries such as Singapore and Canada. Several concerns about the legitimacy of StudySoup arose due to its changing business model.[8]

Controversy

StudySoup has a history of using the imagery and logos of universities without permission.[9] Florida State University has issued warnings to its students about StudySoup using FSU’s logo without the school‘s permission.[citation needed]
