StudyMode is a platform for students to create, discover, and share study materials. At StudyMode, we believe that education should evolve as the world evolves, so we are committed to developing cutting edge ed-tech tools to help students change the concept of studying from a chore to a life-changing skill. Founded by Blaine Vess and Chris Nelson in 1999, StudyMode originally provided a search engine to help students complete research papers. It has since shifted toward a content-sharing model and has grown into an established destination for students looking to learn and increase their knowledge on nearly any topic. StudyMode is self-funded and its network supports more than 90 million visitors a month.
